Gourmet Mashed Potatoes (Mascarpone Potato Puree) image

This is the way I make mashed potatoes to accompany a special meal. My family goes crazy over these creamy mashed potatoes and no matter how much I make, I never seem to have any left over. This is fabulous with beautiful cuts of steaks. You could possibly sub cream cheese mixed with sour cream for the mascarpone cheese, although I have never made them this way.. There is, of course, a recipe for mascarpone cheese substitute here on Zaar.

It was a nice change from my usual mashed potato recipe. The mascarpone gave it a creamy and decadent texture. Will make it again!

A bit too rich for my taste. I prefer more traditional mashed potatoes.

Meh. It was okay. Mashed potatoes are mashed potatoes.

What a unique way to elevate mashed potatoes! The mascarpone and Asiago cheeses added such a delightful flavor and texture.

These potatoes were delicious! I made a few substitutions based on what I had on hand, but they turned out great. My family loved them.

Overall, this recipe was a success. The potatoes were creamy, fluffy, and had a nice cheesy flavor. However, I found the recipe to be a bit time-consuming and the result not worth the effort.

The mascarpone cheese overpowered the potato flavor a bit. Next time, I'll use less cheese and more butter.

A bit too bland for my taste. Could use more seasonings or herbs.

I was a bit hesitant about using mascarpone cheese in mashed potatoes, but I'm so glad I gave it a try. It added a velvety smoothness and richness that made the dish extra special.
