* use TM blade cover/peeler if you have, or peel by hand
place 450g potatoes in the steamer basket, rinse under tap with cold water to remove starch, acting like a colander.

Check with a fork, that the potato is soft & ready for mashing. Carefully hook spatula and lift basket out, rinse potatoes in sink with boiling hot water from the kettle, to rinse the final starches off.

Chop garlic 3-4 seconds, speed 7.

Recipe is created forTM 6
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
