Pea Whipped Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Beat butter and cream cheese into the potatoes with an electric mixer until butter is nearly melted. Add milk and sour cream; beat until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Peel and roughly chop the potatoes into quarters (if potatoes are especially large cut them into 2-inch pieces).
• Place potatoes in a salad spinner or a colander set inside a large bowl. Fill with water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch and let soak 30 minutes. (Covered potatoes can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours.)
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, leeks, and chives in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. When the butter has melted and it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the butter is flavorful but the solids have not browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let steep for 20 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve and set the butter aside. (The solids can be reserved for stirring into the final dish or for another use.)
• Remove the potatoes from the water and drain, being careful not to stir up the starch that has settled on the bottom. Move the potatoes to a large, wide Dutch oven and cover with fresh water by 1 inch. Add 3 tablespoons of the salt and place over high heat until water comes to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium to maintain a gentle but not full or "roiling" boil. Cook the potatoes gently until the internal temperature of the potatoes reaches 205 degrees F and the thermometer probe meets barely any resistance, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes then rinse thoroughly with hot water and allow to drain again.
• Meanwhile heat the cream in the microwave for 45 seconds. Avoid boiling.
• Return the potatoes to the pot and stir over low heat for 1 minute to dry them further. Add the melted butter then roughly mash the potatoes with a potato masher, being sure to press the masher all the way to the bottom of the pot.
• Add the warmed cream, white pepper and remaining tablespoon of salt. Whip the potatoes with an electric hand mixer, starting on low then boosting the speed to high for 30 seconds. Scrape the sides of the bowl and whip for 10 more seconds. That's it. Whipping any further will result in gluey...not fluffy. Transfer to a large (ideally warmed) bowl and serve to a grateful world.

Steps:

• Peel and cut potatoes crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place slices in a medium saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon salt. Reduce to a low simmer, and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a colander; let drain.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saute pan over medium-low heat. Add peas, and cook until they are tender and bright green, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the jar of a blender, and add milk; blend until mixture is smooth and combined.
• While still hot, pass potatoes through a ricer or food mill into a large heat-proof bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until they are smooth, about 1 minute. Using a whisk, incorporate remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Whisking constantly, add pureed pea mixture, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or keep warm over a pan of simmering water.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a saucepan and add enough water to cover generously. Salt the water, bring to a slow simmer over medium heat, and cook until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the cream and milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Keep warm until ready to mix with the potatoes.
• Drain the potatoes, and push them through a ricer into a mixing bowl. Begin whipping the potatoes ¿ either in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or with a handheld mixer ¿ adding the butter as you go. When the butter has melted, gradually add three-quarters of the hot cream mixture, whipping until the potatoes are soft and fluffy. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper, and then any additional cream mixture as needed for the potatoes to achieve the texture of stiffly whipped cream. Serve immediately, or cover and set over a double boiler to keep warm.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and slice as thinly as possible on a mandoline directly into a large, 8-quart container filled with 4 quarts of cold water. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Drain the potatoes and rinse with clean, cold water; spin dry in a salad spinner. Transfer the potatoes to an 11-quart pot, cover with the milk and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, about 35 minutes. Reduce the heat in order to maintain a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork tender and beginning to fall apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Reserve 1 cup of the cooking milk. Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander and return them to the pot. Press the potatoes through a ricer into a large mixing bowl. Add the reserved hot milk, butter and salt and use an electric hand mixer to whip on low speed for 15 to 30 seconds. Do not overwhip.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking dish. Set aside.
• For the potatoes: In a large saucepan, combine the butter, salt and potatoes. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the same pot. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Mix in the mozzarella, milk, Parmesan and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish.
• For the peas: In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thawed peas and cook until heated through. Add the salt and pepper.
• Using a large spoon, make a 4-inch well in the center of the potatoes and fill with the cooked peas.
• For the topping: Stir the cheese and breadcrumbs in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the mashed potatoes (can be prepared up to this point 6 hours ahead of time; cover and chill).
• Drizzle the top with olive oil and bake until the topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mash the potatoes. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, butter, garlic salt, salt and pepper; mix until smooth. , Transfer to a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until heated through.
