GOAT CHEESE MASHED POTATOES RECIPE



Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes Recipe image

The Southern Living Test Kitchen has made a lot of mashed potato recipes during its 50 years, and we have to say that this is one of our best mashed potatoes yet. Our typical mashed potato recipes call for milk and butter, but these mashed potatoes are truly over the top with the addition of goat cheese, heavy cream, and chopped fresh chives. Two cups of tangy goat cheese balances out the natural sweetness of the cream and potatoes while also adding more body and texture to the mashed potato dish. We call for plain goat cheese, but for something a little different, you can substitute a flavored goat cheese such as garlic and herb, or even sun-dried tomato. Instead of topping the mashed potatoes with chives-a classic combination-you can substitute parsley, rosemary, or thyme. Our recipe calls for the soft, cooked potatoes to be mashed with a potato masher, but if you light your potatoes extra light and fluffy, you can also use a ricer. Best of all, this easy mashed potato recipe doesn't require any additional time or effort to prepare-in two simple steps you'll have a big bowl of creamy, comforting mashed potato goodness.

Provided by Raquel Grinnell

Categories     Potato

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (Russett or Yukon Gold work best)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 bay leaf
5 ounces goat cheese
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender.
  • In the meantime, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the sugar and stir frequently, until onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 30-40 minutes. If the onions get too dry, add a small amount of water to deglaze the pan. Set aside.
  • While the potatoes and onions are cooking, heat the half and half, garlic, bay leaf, and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • When done, drain the potatoes and return them to the hot, dry pot. Stir them over low heat for 2 minutes until they are dry. Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl.
  • Discard the garlic and bay leaf from cream. Gently stir in the hot cream a little at a time until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. You may not need to use all of the liquid.
  • Set aside a small amount of the caramelized onions for garnish and stir the remaining onions into the mashed potatoes. Crumble the goat cheese into the potatoes and stir to combine well. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Spoon the mashed potatoes into a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining caramelized onions. Serve hot.

  • Mash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any lumps. A potato ricer can be used for a smooth and fluffy texture.
  • Incorporate the goat cheese and other ingredients while the potatoes are still hot, so they will melt and blend seamlessly.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, topped with additional goat cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped chives.
