PARTY MASHED POTATOES



Party Mashed Potatoes image

I found a variation of this recipe in a Deanna House cookbook years ago, where it's called "Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes". This is my family's favorite mashed potato recipe (and several of them don't like sour cream). It's also an easy, delicious side dish to prepare a day ahead of time. I like to mix potato varieties- red and yellow works well. I also leave the skins on (for extra nutrients), but you can peel the potatoes prior to boiling them, for a creamier end result. This recipe is very easy to double for larger crowds.

BEST OLD-FASHIONED MASHED POTATOES FOR A CROWD



Best Old-Fashioned Mashed Potatoes for a Crowd image

This is the country mash of your dreams. You don't even have to peel the potatoes before you start. Cooking them in their skins makes them more flavorful, and the skins slip off in a food mill.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, diced
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water by about 1 inch and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat, and then reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer briskly until fork tender, about 45 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 1/2 cup of the water. Quarter the potatoes and pass them through a food mill or ricer back into the pan. (Peel them first if you are using a ricer). When the potatoes are almost done, heat the buttermilk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat to just under a simmer. Set aside; it will separate and look curdled but don't worry, it will mix in fine. Fold the buttermilk and reserved cooking water into the potatoes over low heat. Then fold in the butter a handful of pieces at a time until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
Coarse salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, cut into 8 pieces
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
2/3 cup milk, warmed, or as needed
Freshly ground black pepper
Paprika for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add cold water to cover by at least 1 inch. Add a good pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, partially cover, and cook until the potatoes are very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan over medium heat. Cook, shaking the pan and stirring so the potatoes don't stick, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the potatoes are floury and have formed a film on the bottom of the pan.
  • Remove from the heat and break up the potatoes with a handheld mixer on low speed. Gradually drop in 6 tablespoons of the butter and beat until it is absorbed. Refrigerate the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Gradually add the cream cheese and sour cream, beating well after each addition. Beat in the milk a little at a time. You want the potatoes to be fluffy and light. If they seem to be getting too wet, don't add all the milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (If you don't have an electric mixer, use a hand masher to start and then use a wooden spoon to beat in the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, and milk. Beat the milk into the potatoes one third at a time, beating vigorously after each addition.)
  • Butter a 9-x-13-inch baking dish and spoon the potatoes into it. Smooth the top, then use a spatula or fork to swirl or score the surface to leave little peaks that will brown nicely during baking. Refrigerate, covered tightly with plastic wrap, for up to 2 days before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Dust the top of the potatoes with paprika. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces and scatter them over the top. Bake until the potatoes are heated through and the top is lightly golden, about 1 hour. (Expect it to take only half the time if the potatoes haven't been refrigerated.) Serve hot.

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 -10 medium baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) carton sour cream
garlic salt, to taste
chives, to taste
parsley flakes, to taste
1 -2 tablespoon butter, melted
paprika, enough to cover the top of the casserole dish

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: Salting the water helps to flavor the potatoes and prevents them from becoming bland.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming watery.
  • Mash the potatoes until smooth: Use a potato masher or a food mill to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings to taste: Start with a small amount of each ingredient and add more until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Garnish with chopped herbs or grated cheese: This will add a pop of flavor and color to the mashed potatoes.
