Saffron Mashed Potatoes Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by ltrodrigu

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks (about 6 heaping cups)
2 teaspoons salt
1 heaping teaspoon saffron threads
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Tabasco sauce or your favorite hot sauce

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium-large saucepan, then cover with cold water by 1 inch and add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, about 15 minutes. Let cook until fork tender, 10-15 minutes more. Meanwhile, in a small lidded saucepan over low-medium heat, heat saffron, garlic and milk just until edges of milk start to bubble, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to let milk scald. Remove from heat, cover saucepan and let flavors infuse for 10 minutes. Add olive oil to milk infusion and gently reheat over low heat. Drain and mash potatoes. Fit an electric mixer with a paddle attachment and use it to whip mashed potatoes. With the motor running on low-medium speed, pour oil-milk infusion into potatoes in a slow, steady stream until velvety smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in remaining salt and Tabasco to taste. Ideally, allow purée to sit in a warm place to allow saffron flavor to fully develop, about 30 minutes.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup fresh corn kernels
3 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
1 3/4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 5 minutes. Add corn and garlic; sauté until onion is golden and corn is tender, about 5 minutes longer. Add cream, butter and saffron. Bring to boil. Remove from heat. Cover; let stand 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well. Transfer to large bowl. Mash until smooth. Stir in corn mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for mashed potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them fluffy and creamy.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they are easy to mash and will have a smooth texture.
  • Drain the potatoes well: Any excess water will make the mashed potatoes watery and runny.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer: Do not use a blender or food processor, as this will make the mashed potatoes gluey.
  • Add the milk and butter gradually: This will help you to achieve the desired consistency. If the mashed potatoes are too thick, add more milk. If they are too thin, add more butter.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes hot: They are best when served immediately after they are made. However, you can also make them ahead of time and reheat them in the microwave or oven.

Conclusion:

Saffron corn mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are fluffy, creamy, and packed with flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect mashed potatoes every time.
