Low-Fat Mashed Potatoes

1. 1

   Put potatoes into a large pan with the milk, water, bay leaf, onion and peppercorns. Add enough additional water to cover the potatoes by 1-inch. Bring the liquid to a boil, lower the heat and let the liquid bubble steadily for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender and almost falling apart.

2. 2

   Lift the potatoes from the cooking water (discard the bay leaf, onion and peppercorns) and transfer them to a bowl. Do not discard cooking water. Add 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid to mash the potatoes with a potato masher or a pastry blender until they are blended with the liquid.

3. 3

   Add 2 more tablespoons of the water until the potatoes are light and fluffy. Add another tablespoon if necessary. Beat in the butter, salt and pepper and serve at once. Serves 6.
