Lemon and Caper Mashed Potatoes image

This buttery potato side dish packs a zesty punch, thanks to fresh lemon and capers. To keep mashed potatoes warm for up to two hours, place them in a heatproof bowl over a pot filled with three inches of barely simmering water; cover to seal in the steam.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
Coarse salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons capers, drained and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large saucepan, and fill with enough water to cover potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add a generous amount of salt; reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 15 minutes. Drain; using a potato masher or potato ricer, mash potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 5 tablespoons butter, milk, lemon juice, zest, and capers. Heat until butter is melted and the mixture is warm to the touch.
  • Fold the milk mixture and parsley into the mashed potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Dot with remaining tablespoon butter just before serving.
