Baja Version of Joel Robuchon's Potato Puree

It's what I did with ingredients available.

Russet Potatoes, lightly baked (no Yukon Gold or fingerlings in store).

Cooled down, then mashed by hand in a pot that was then warmed on the stove.

Add copious amounts of Jersey unsalted butter and Jersey fresh milk to mix.

Add some local sea salt to taste; Ocean's Flavor is what I had one hand.

Good stuff.

We make something similar using potatoes boiled in seawater. No need for addn'l salt. Naturally, if you have been following the milk post, we use a concentrated liquid of powdered whole milk, no need for butter 'cept on top. Remember, as my guru, Bobba Bob says, "the potatoes are just there to hold the gravy."
