Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 cups milk
1 bay leaf
2 pounds russet potatoes (about 4)

Steps:

  • Beat the butter in a small bowl with a rubber spatula until creamy. Add the parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the nutmeg and mix to combine. Scrape the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a log. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes, or freeze up to 1 week.
  • Combine the milk, 1 teaspoon salt and the bay leaf in a large saucepan. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces, adding them to the pot as you go so they don't discolor. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring to prevent the milk from scorching, until the potatoes are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes, reserving the milk in a liquid measuring cup or bowl; discard the bay leaf. Return the potatoes to the saucepan and add all but about 1 tablespoon of the herb butter. Mash with a potato masher, gradually adding the reserved milk as needed, until creamy (you may have leftover milk). Season with salt. Transfer to a serving dish and top with the remaining 1 tablespoon herb butter just before serving.

I made these for a Thanksgiving dinner we had at church, and now every time we have any sort of meal at church I am always asked if I going to make uncle Dick's potatoes.

HERBED MASHED POTATOES



Herbed Mashed Potatoes image

Prepare mashed potatoes, omitting herbs, up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate. Reheat in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water; stir in herbs.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
Coarse salt
1 3/4 cups half-and-half
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with cold water by 1 inch, and add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain; return potatoes to pot.
  • Stir potatoes over medium heat until dry (a film of starch will form on bottom of pot), about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • In a small saucepan, combine half-and-half and butter; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Pour half of hot liquid over potatoes. Mash just until smooth, adding more liquid to reach desired consistency. Stir in parsley and chives; season with salt. Garnish with more herbs.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. These varieties have a high starch content, which helps to create a smooth and fluffy texture.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces before boiling. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water. The salt will help to flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly before mashing them. Any excess water will make the potatoes gluey.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. You can use a potato masher, a hand mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Add butter, milk, and seasonings to the mashed potatoes. The butter will add richness and flavor, while the milk will help to create a creamy texture. The seasonings will add flavor and depth to the dish.
  • For a flavorful variation, try adding herbs or cheese to the mashed potatoes. Some popular options include chives, parsley, thyme, rosemary, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately or keep them warm in a slow cooker until ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste preferences. Whether you like them plain or loaded with herbs, cheese, or other toppings, mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit at your next meal.
