LEEK MASHED POTATOES



Leek Mashed Potatoes image

Provided by Sandra Lee

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.

MASHED POTATOES & CARROTS



Mashed Potatoes & Carrots image

This recipe is so simple but was not posted so I thought I would post it. I used left over cooked carrots and rather than reheat them I threw them in with the potatoes for the last 5 minutes cooking time. The amount of Carrot & potato should be about equal. You may add parsley, bacon, turnip or any other ingredient that you wish or have them plain like this recipe. Excellent way to use up left over veggies.

CARROT MASHED POTATOES



Carrot Mashed Potatoes image

Serve this creamy side dish with our Turkey Meatloaf Muffins for a delicious meal for the whole family that kids will really enjoy.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 cup half-and-half or milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place potatoes and carrots in a small stockpot with enough cold water to cover; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and return to pot; place over low heat to dry out, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat. Pour half-and-half over vegetables, and add butter; roughly mash with a wooden spoon or potato masher. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use starchy potatoes: Russet potatoes are a good choice because they break down easily and create a smooth, creamy texture. You can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, which have a slightly denser texture.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they are easy to mash and will create a smooth, lump-free puree.
  • Drain the potatoes well: This will prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes: This will give you the smoothest, creamiest results.
  • Add the milk and butter gradually: This will help you control the consistency of the mashed potatoes. You can always add more milk or butter if needed, but it's difficult to remove them once they've been added.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes before serving: A sprinkling of chopped parsley, chives, or green onions adds a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes with carrots and leeks are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them smooth and creamy or chunky and rustic, these mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit.
