Steam the Potatoes: Place the potato chunks in the Ninja Speedi’s steaming basket. Add water to the bottom of the Ninja Speedi. Add enough water or broth so that the liquid covers the potatoes.
Set the Ninja Speedi to Rapid Cook, Steam/Bake, for 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. Or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Mash the Potatoes: Add butter, milk or cream, salt, and pepper to the potatoes.
Blend: Use your potato masher and mash until you get the consistency of the mashed potatoes that you want. If they appear too thick, add more milk or cream until you reach the desired texture.
Taste and Season: Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary. Blend briefly to incorporate any added seasonings.
Serve: Your Ninja Speedi Mashed Potatoes are now ready to serve. Transfer them to a serving dish and garnish with a pat of butter or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
Ninja Speedi Mashed Potatoes Recipe Tips
- Use the Right Potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds, which yield the creamiest texture when mashed.
- Cut Potatoes Evenly: To ensure even cooking, cut the potatoes into uniform chunks before steaming.
- Don’t Overfill the Speedi: Avoid overfilling the Ninja Speedi with potatoes and liquids. Work in batches if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
- Start Slow: Begin blending at a low speed and gradually increase to avoid splattering or overmixing.
- Add Warm Ingredients: Use warm butter and milk/cream to prevent the mashed potatoes from cooling down too quickly.
- Don’t Overblend: Overmixing can result in gummy or gluey mashed potatoes. Stop blending as soon as you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and Adjust: Always taste your mashed potatoes before serving and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or more butter.
- Keep Warm: If not serving immediately, warm the mashed potatoes by placing them in a covered dish or the Ninja Speedi in the “Keep Warm” setting.
- Customize Consistency: Adjust the amount of milk/cream to achieve your preferred consistency. Add more for creamier mashed potatoes or less for a thicker texture.
- Get Creative with Add-Ins: Experiment with different herbs, spices, cheeses, or other add-ins to customize the flavor of your mashed potatoes.
