- Choose potatoes that feel firm in hand, have smooth skin, and are intact, without unusual black spots.

Prepare the potatoes
After purchasing, wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove all dirt.
Peel the potatoes and then put the peeled potatoes into a bowl of clean water.
Tip: After peeling, if you put the potatoes immediately into cold water with a few drops of vinegar, the potatoes will not turn black, and when cooked, they will retain their fresh color.
-
Boil the potatoes
Place a pot on the stove, add about 1 liter of clean water to the pot, place the potatoes in the pot, and add 1 tablespoon of salt.
Keep the heat high and boil the potatoes for about 25 – 30 minutes until they are soft.
After the potatoes are cooked, remove them and place them in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. You can change the cold water to soak the potatoes about 2 – 3 times for them to cool down quickly.
-
Mash the potatoes
After the potatoes have completely cooled, cut them into small pieces to make them easier to blend.
Put all the potatoes into a blender. Next, add 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese and 220ml of unsweetened milk into the blender. Turn on the blender at medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Then, transfer the mashed potato mixture into a bowl.
-
Steam the potatoes
Place a pot on the stove and add about 500ml of filtered water. Place the bowl containing the potato mixture into the pot and cover tightly to bring the water to a boil quickly.
