Who's got the best mashed potato recipe?
I need to make some for a pot luck but mine are pretty boring. |

Peel potatoes.
Place in large pot. Cover them with heavy whipping cream, season with salt and white pepper. SLOWLY bring to a simmer Once potatoes are fork tender, remove from the cream. (save the cream) Run them through a ricer. Gently fold in some Parmesan cheese, whole butter, and enough of the cooking cream to achieve your preferred texture. Serve |

Sounds awesome! The ricer/food mill really does make a big different. To kick it up a notch put freshly roasted whole garlic in the cream, remove if you want to. BTW, This is how we did them at The Ritz-Carlton in Aspen, Colorado. |

Correct. If you whip the shit out of them they'll get all gluey. BTW, This is how we did them at The Ritz-Carlton in Aspen, Colorado. Quoted:

Well it did not take long for the cheese cretin crowd to chime in. A guy in hunt camp tried that shit and had he not lived in FL we would have ran his ass off. I peeled five fucking pounds of home-grown potatoes and that ass-bag put cheese in them. A new hunt camp rule was born that day.....No cheese in the fucking mashed-taters.

The only reason cretins put cheese in mashed potatoes is because they don't know how to make good mashed potatoes and hope the cheese covers-up their failure.

Boil taties.
Drain and dump in bowl. Add fuck ton of butter and some half and half. Mash with your masher until no big chunks. Use wisk on your hand blender and whip the living hell out of them. That's how I make them and everyone loves them, it's like they've never had mashed potatoes before. |
|
Ingredients are only part of the equation. If your technique sucks it doesn't matter.
Pro tip: after draining the water from your taters, Dry them on a cookie sheet at 200f for 15 minutes. Then start mixing. Once mashed up add HOT cream and butter(milk is for pussies), roasted garlic paste, sour cream and salt. |
| Use baking potatoes. This is for three large potatoes. Peel, cut into large chunks and boil until fork tender. Drain. Add 1 stick of salted butter, 1 brick of cream cheese, 2 teaspoons of puréed garlic and add black pepper to taste. Mash a little bit then add a quarter to a third cup whole milk and finish mashing. |
|
I don't bother with a mixer, I use a hand masher. More important, though, is a garlic press.
Red potatoes, skin on. Boil until tender. Drain, add milk (cream is gilding the lily), a bit of butter and some salt. Add 1 clove of garlic through a garlic press. Mash potatoes, adding milk to keep things smooth as the mashing process continues. Take a long look and have a taste. Add more milk, more mashing, another clove of garlic. A tad too sloppy and liquid is better than too dense and dry. Relax. Now, an ingredient that will change your life: Cabot Cheddar Cheese Shake. It is a powder, and it is cheese power. Dust it on, elevate the mashed potatoes. Profit. |
