Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 to 5 medium Burbank russet (Idaho) or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, and sliced 1/3-inch-thick
3 medium shallots, crushed, plus5 shallots, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, crushed, 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 teaspoons and 2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup heavy or whipping cream
1/2 to 1 cup half-and-half or milk

Steps:

  • Precook the potatoes by heating enough water (about 6 cups) to cover them in a large pot over high heat until hot but well below a simmer. Turn heat down to low and add the potato slices, crushed shallots and garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and vinegar. The potatoes will cool the water down to about 160 degrees. Cook at about this temperature, well below a simmer, for about 20 minutes. Drain and run cold water over the potato slices to cool them. Let them stand in water in the pot until you?re ready to finish cooking, or drain, cover, and refrigerate.
  • When ready to mash, saute the minced shallots and garlic in butter over medium heat until just soft in a heavy, medium saucepan. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt and the white pepper. Add the cream and half-and-half and heat gently. Set aside.
  • To finish cooking, add water to the cool potatoes if necessary, bring to a boil, and simmer until fork-tender, about 5 minutes at a simmer. Drain, remove the crushed shallots and garlic, put the potatoes back in the pot, and heat for about 1 minute to dry them out. To mash, push the potatoes once through a ricer or large-holed strainer into a medium mixing bowl. Bring the shallot and cream mixture to a boil and stir into the hot mashed potatoes. Taste and add more salt or pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
  • Make ahead and serve hot: Make complete mashed potatoes 1 day ahead, refrigerate overnight, cover tightly with foil and heat for 40 minutes in a 325 degree oven. Serve.

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 shallots, unpeeled
1 large head of garlic, outer skin peeled leaving the head intact
4 tablespoons of olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
3 1/2 pounds (about 6 large) russet (baking) potatoes
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a bowl toss together the shallots, the head of garlic, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Wrap the shallots and the garlic tightly in a foil package and roast them in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes. Unwrap the package carefully and let the shallots and the garlic cool until they can be handled. Peel the shallots and the garlic and purée them in a food processor.
  • In a kettle combine the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces, with enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches, bring the water to a boil, and salt to taste. Simmer the potatoes for 15 minutes, or until they are very tender, drain them, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking water, and force them through a ricer or a food mill fitted with the coarse disk into a bowl. Beat in the garlic purée, the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, the butter, the salt and pepper to taste, and enough of the reserved cooking water to reach the desired consistency.

CARAMELIZED-SHALLOT MASHED POTATOES



Caramelized-Shallot Mashed Potatoes image

I got this recipe from this month's Bon Appetit Magazine (March 2008). This simple recipe only calls for 4 ingredients and has the unusual step of caramelizing the shallots for added sweetness and depth! Ingredient Tip: Yukon Gold potatoes are used in place of the more traditional russets because they mash up nutty, creamy, and almost buttery. If you want, you can certainly use russets.

Tips:

  • For the best mashed potatoes, use starchy potatoes such as Russets or Yukon Golds.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Add salt to the water when boiling the potatoes. This will help to flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly before mashing them. This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming watery.
  • Use a potato ricer or a food mill to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Avoid using a blender or food processor, as this will make the potatoes gluey.
  • Mash the potatoes while they are still hot. This will help to make them light and fluffy.
  • Add butter, milk, and seasonings to the potatoes to taste. For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes with chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes with shallots 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 creamy and smooth or chunky and rustic, these mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit.
