BAKED MASHED POTATOES WITH PARMESAN



Baked Mashed Potatoes With Parmesan image

The combination here of baked and mashed potatoes can be made in advance and reheated at serving time. A food mill or old-fashioned food ricer yields the best texture, but you can also mash the potatoes in any way you are accustomed. I like to use Idaho potatoes because they are less moist than many other types.

Baking the potatoes for this recipe is a completely hands-off cooking process that also reduces some of the water content in the spuds, resulting in the easiest and most flavorful mash of all time.

Provided by Claire Saffitz

Categories     Bon Appétit     Thanksgiving     Side     Potato     Chive     Milk/Cream     Garlic

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed
1 head of garlic, halved crosswise
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 cups half-and-half, warmed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

  • Arrange a rack in lower third of oven; preheat oven to 425°F. Prick potatoes all over with a fork and place on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Place garlic on a piece of foil and drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Fold edges of foil up and over garlic and crimp to close, creating a tight packet. Place on baking sheet with potatoes and roast until a knife slides easily through flesh of potatoes, 65-75 minutes. Let potatoes and garlic cool slightly.
  • Halve potatoes lengthwise, then use a fork to scrape flesh into a large saucepan (include skins if you want to add a little texture). Squeeze garlic cloves from skins into pan. Smash mixture with a potato masher until mostly smooth with only a few lumps.
  • Combine half-and-half and butter in a large measuring cup and pour 1 cup into potato mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until incorporated and smooth. Stir in another cup half-and-half mixture; season generously with salt and pepper.

  • Do Ahead

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 lbs potatoes, peeled and quartered
8 ounces mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup chives or 1 cup scallion, finely minced
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 20-30 minutes. Drain thoroughly and return them to the pot in which they were cooked. Return to the heat briefly to evaporate any excess water that may still be clinging to the potatoes.
  • Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the Mascarpone cheese and butter into the potatoes until thoroughly incorporated and fluffy. Beat in the chives or scallions and season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a shallow 1 1/2 to 2-quart gratin dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the top and then dust evenly with paprika. Cover the potatoes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for UP TO 48 hours before heating.
  • When ready to heat the potatoes, bring them to room temperature and preheat oven to 350°F Bake the potatoes until hot, puffed, and light brown on top, about 30 minutes. Serve at once.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold, russet, and Idaho potatoes are all good choices for mashed potatoes. Yukon Golds are known for their creamy texture, while russets are more starchy and Idaho potatoes are a good all-around choice.
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the potatoes.
  • Peel the potatoes if desired: Peeling the potatoes is not necessary, but it will give you a smoother mashed potato. If you do peel the potatoes, be sure to remove any eyes or blemishes.
  • Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces: This will help them to cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-inch in size.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes well: This will help to prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
  • Mash the potatoes until smooth: You can use a potato masher, a ricer, or a food mill to mash the potatoes. If you use a food mill, you will get a smoother mashed potato.
  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings: Start with a small amount of milk and butter, and then add more until you reach the desired consistency. Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served hot. You can keep them warm in a slow cooker or in a covered dish in a warm oven.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect mashed potatoes every time.
