Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for baking dish
5 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and halved crosswise
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
6 ounces sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated on large holes of a box grater
3 tablespoons fresh chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a large shallow baking dish; set aside.
  • Fill a large pot with 2 to 3 inches of water; set a steamer insert into pot and add potatoes to insert. Cover and steam potatoes until tender and easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 15 minutes. Pass potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl.

LEEK MASHED POTATOES

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds russet potatoes
Kosher salt
2 leeks, white parts only
6 tablespoons butter
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Put them into a large pot of cold water. Add a big pinch of salt and put the pot over high heat. When it comes to a boil, cook until the potatoes are just cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, slice the leeks into small pieces and thoroughly wash to remove any dirt. Put a medium skillet over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons butter. When the butter is melted, add the leeks and season with salt and pepper. Cook the leeks until they are very soft, being careful not to let them color or burn, about 20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander. Then put the potatoes back into the pot and let the potatoes dry out a bit while you finish the leeks.
  • In a small pot over low heat, add the milk, the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, garlic and thyme and warm it up. Strain the garlic and thyme from the warm milk and stir the milk into the potatoes using a wooden spoon. Mash with a potato masher, breaking up the big lumps. Stir in the melted leeks, taste and season with salt and pepper. Reserve 2 cups for another use if desired, such as the Round 2 Recipe Thanksgiving Pie. Cover the rest and keep warm until ready to serve.

LEEK AND POTATO SOUFFLé WITH HAM AND FONTINA



Leek and Potato Soufflé With Ham and Fontina image

Contain your skepticism: A soufflé made with mashed potatoes doesn't have to be heavy, as David Tanis revealed in 2012. "The two textures can complement each other, resulting in a dish that tastes light but has an underlying heartiness," he says. This one gets added flavor from leeks and ham. If you're new to soufflé-making, this is a good place to start. The potatoes provide a structure that a regular butter and flour roux don't, he wrote, so it's less likely to fall.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes, like Yukon or Bintje, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 cups half-and-half or milk
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 medium leeks, white and tender green parts, diced (about 2 cups)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 garlic cloves, minced
Pinch cayenne
Grated nutmeg, to taste
4 ounces thick-sliced cooked ham, diced
4 ounces coarsely grated fontina or Gruyère
3 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon butter for buttering the baking dish
1 ounce finely grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In well-salted water, boil the potatoes until tender, then drain, put in a large mixing bowl and mash with the half-and-half. Cool slightly.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, season with salt and pepper and cook until softened but still bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. Add thyme and garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the cooked leeks to the mashed potatoes and mix well. Add the cayenne, nutmeg, ham and Fontina or Gruyère. Mix well, taste and adjust seasoning. (It should be fairly well seasoned, as the egg, when added, will dilute the flavor.) Beat in the 3 egg yolks.
  • Butter a 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle the bottom and sides with half the grated Parmesan.
  • In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks. Stir 1/3 of the beaten whites into the potato mixture to lighten and thin it slightly. Quickly fold in the remaining whites, then scrape the soufflé batter into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining Parmesan.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes, until nicely browned. Check the center for doneness with a paring knife or skewer. May rest 10 minutes before serving.

Categories     Garlic     Potato     Side     Vegetarian     Leek     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 1/2 cups finely chopped white and pale green part of leek, washed well and drained
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 pounds russet (baking) potatoes (about 6 large)
6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1/2 cup of milk

Steps:

  • In a large heavy skillet cook the leeks and 4 tablespoons of the butter, covered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are very tender, and keep them warm. In a kettle combine the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, the garlic, and enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch, bring the water to a boil, and simmer the potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain the potatoes and garlic in a large colander, return the potatoes to the kettle, reserving the garlic, and cook them over moderate heat, shaking the kettle, for 30 seconds to let any excess liquid evaporate. Peel the reserved garlic, force the garlic and the potatoes through a ricer or the medium disk of a food mill into a bowl, and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the leeks, the milk, and the salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • To make sure your soufflé rises properly, make sure to whip the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. Use a clean bowl and whisk to ensure the egg whites whip up properly.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the potato mixture. Do not overmix, as this will deflate the soufflé.
  • Bake the soufflé immediately after assembling. This will help it to rise properly.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking, as this will cause the soufflé to fall.
  • Serve the soufflé immediately after baking, as it will start to fall after a few minutes.
  • To make sure the leeks are not too strong, rinse them well before cooking.
  • If you don't have a soufflé dish, you can use a 9-inch round baking pan.
  • You can add other ingredients to the soufflé, such as cheese, herbs, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Mashed potato and leek soufflé is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is light and airy, with a delicate flavor. The leeks add a subtle oniony flavor that complements the potatoes perfectly. This soufflé is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. Follow these tips to make the perfect soufflé every time.
