CHILI MASHED POTATOES



Chili Mashed Potatoes image

Achieving perfect mashed potatoes requires a little extra effort but the results are sublime. You cannot use a food processor, blender or any other motorized apparatus to mash the potatoes. Processing potatoes by hand using a ricer, food mill, potato masher or even just a wooden spoon yields perfect potatoes every time. Russet and Yukon gold potatoes make the best mashed potatoes. Choose firm potatoes without a hint of green and no soft or discolored spots. Do not refrigerate your potatoes or the potato starch will gradually change into sugar, causing unpleasantly sweet potatoes that will not cook up well.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, cut into even sized, large chunks
3/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
Salt and cracked black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons sambal oelek, more or less to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, heat to boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until cooked through, about 12 to 16 minutes. Drain in a colander. Immediately place potatoes back in pot you cooked them in and place on same burner, which has been turned off. Stir occasionally over next 5 minutes to let potatoes dry out.
  • In a small saucepan, warm buttermilk over medium low heat. Do not boil. Pass potatoes through a ricer or food mill. Alternatively, leave potatoes in pot and mash by hand using a potato masher or wooden spoon. Stir in enough warmed buttermilk to obtain desired consistency. Add salt and cracked black pepper to taste, stir until combined. Add sambal oelek, a teaspoon at a time, tasting after each addition. Serve immediately.
  • MORPH: The morph on this is a simple dish called baked egg mashed potatoes. All you do is place leftover mashed potatoes in a shallow baking dish. Make wells, crack eggs into the wells, cover with a thin layer of cheese and bake until the eggs are set.

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt
8 tablespoons butter, cold, cut into pats
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, scalded
3/4 to 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 poblano chile, roasted, and then peeled, seeded and finely diced
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 to 3/4 cup cream, warmed
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large pot with 2 tablespoons of salt and cover by a few inches of cold water. Bring to a boil, cover and cook until a paring knife inserted in the center meets no resistance.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the hot milk and increase the heat to high, cooking until the milk has thickened and the flour taste has been cooked out, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the Monterey Jack cheese until smooth and melted. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano and poblano chile and season with salt and pepper.
  • Drain the potatoes well, and then return to the pot over low heat to dry out. When the potatoes turn white and become dry, pass them through a ricer into a large glass bowl. Gently combine the potatoes with the remaining 6 tablespoons butter and the warm cream, using a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Make a well in the middle of the potatoes and fill with the cheese sauce. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
