Time 30m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds boiling potatoes
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Add them to the boiling water and bring the water back to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan, making sure it doesn't boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done.
  • As soon as the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Place a food mill fitted with a small disk/blade over a heatproof bowl. Pass the potatoes through the food mill, turning the handle back and forth. As soon as the potatoes are mashed, stir in the hot milk mixture with a whisk or rubber spatula. Add enough buttermilk to make the potatoes creamy. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper, and serve hot. To keep the potatoes warm, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water for up to 30 minutes. You can add a little extra hot milk to keep them creamy.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 russet potatoes, cleaned
vegetable oil
1 cup havarti cheese, coarsely grated
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups shallots, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • These small potato cups (each one is half a russet potato) are a great choice if you're short on oven space. The potatoes can be baked and stuffed one day ahead and chilled, then warmed in the oven for 20 minutes while the turkey rests before carving.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F Pierce potatoes in several places with fork, then brush lightly with oil. Place potatoes directly on oven rack and bake until tender when pierced with fork, about 55 minutes. Cool potatoes slightly.
  • Cut off thin slice from both short ends of each potato and discard. Cut each potato crosswise in half; stand each half on its small flat end. Using teaspoon, scoop out cooked potato pulp from each half, leaving 1/3-inch-thick shell and forming potato cup. Place potato cups in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Place potato pulp in medium bowl; add cheese, sour cream, milk, and cayenne. Using potato masher or fork, mash until well blended and almost smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mound mashed potato mixture in potato cups.
  • Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender and deep brown, about 12 minutes. Top potato cups with shallots. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F Bake potato cups until heated through, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

BUTTERMILK MASHED POTATOES



Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes image

From "Barefoot Contessa At Home" by Ina Garten. She says, "whenever I'm in San Francisco, I have to go to Zuni Café. Judy Rodgers, the amazing founder, told me that her buttermilk mashed potatoes were so popular that whatever she pairs with them on the menu is the most popular dish that night. I came right home and made my version of her famous dish." Have not tried these as yet, but they are a good read. Am posting here for safe-keeping. However, I did include some parsley to the dish.

  • Add them to the boiling water and bring the water back to a boil.
  • Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.

  • Set aside until the potatoes are done.
  • As soon as the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander.
  • Place a food mill fitted with a small disk or blade over a heat-proof bowl.
  • Pass the potatoes through the food mill, turning the handle back and forth.
  • As soon as the potatoes are mashed, stir in the hot-milk-and-butter mixture with a rubber spatula.
  • Add enough buttermilk to make the potatoes creamy.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of salt and the pepper, or more to taste, and serve hot.
  • To keep the potatoes warm, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water for up to 30 minutes.
  • You can add a little extra hot milk to keep them creamy.
  • Enjoy!
  • The Barefoot Contessa served this with roast capon, green beans with shalotts, orange-honey glazed carrots and pumpkin mousse parfait.

  • Add the milk, butter, and seasonings gradually: This will help you to control the consistency of the mashed potatoes.
  • Caramelize the shallots: This will add a sweet and savory flavor to the mashed potatoes.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
