Mashed Potatoes Polish Style / Ziemniaki Tłuczone z Masłem i Mlekiem
Potatoes are still one of the most popular elements of a Polish dinner. And although a lot of unflattering myths have arisen around them, it is worth eating them regularly. They provide a lot of valuable nutrients and leave a feeling of fullness after a meal for a long time. They consist of starch, i.e. complex carbohydrates, so they do not cause rapid spikes in blood glucose and can be eaten even by diabetics. Potatoes also contain a lot of potassium, calcium and B vitamins, as well as substances that lower blood pressure. Everyone has their preferred style for cooking potatoes. This is the very basic recipe for the mashed potatoes the Polish style.
