Rich Tasting Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water. Cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes; drain. Add cream, butter, salt and pepper; mash until smooth. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Steps:

• For the mashed potatoes: Add the potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt to a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside to dry.
• Whip together the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed until thoroughly blended, about 2 minutes. Add the still-warm potatoes alternating with the half-and-half. Whip until blended. Add in the pepper and garlic and season with salt to taste.
• Grease a 9-by-14-inch glass baking dish with butter and pour the potato mixture into it. Bake right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• When ready to bake and serve, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the topping: Pour the melted butter over the potato mixture and bake until bubbly and slightly golden, about 45 minutes. Garnish with the chives and parsley. The potatoes can be kept warm in a 200-degree oven or tented with foil until ready to serve, up to 2 hours.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan; add broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, 15-20 minutes. Uncover; cook until broth is almost evaporated, 4-6 minutes longer, stirring occasionally., Reduce heat to low; stir in cream cheese until melted. Mash potatoes slightly, gradually adding sour cream, Parmesan cheese and salt; heat through. If desired, serve with butter and additional Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Scrub and peel the potatoes, then cut them into pieces all approximately of the same size and place them into a large pot.
• Cover with cold water, then bring to a boil; slightly reduce heat and gently boil until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• While potatoes are cooking and almost done, in a saucepan combine the half and half, butter, salt, and pepper and simmer until melted and combined; set aside and keep warm.
• When potatoes are tender, drain well.
• Pass the potatoes through a food mill or mash with a potato masher (do not use an electric mixer).
• Gradually add the warm liquid mixture to the milled/mashed potatoes, stirring, until you've added enough liquid to achieve the consistency you prefer (you might not need all the liquid).
• Adjust salt and pepper to taste, if necessary, and serve.
• Note: this is an excellent basic recipe you can add other tasty ingredients to, such as roasted garlic, crumbled blue cheese or gorgonzola, chopped or minced scallions/basil/parsley, caramelized onions or leeks.

Steps:

• On a cutting board, peel the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water after peeling to prevent discoloration.
• Dice the potatoes into 1-inch (2-cm) cubes.
• Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water, along with the salt. Bring to a soft boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 12 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander, then return to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir the potatoes around for 2-3 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.
• Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher, potato ricer, or by pushing through a fine mesh sieve with a spatula.
• Add the melted butter and stir to incorporate, then season with salt to taste.
• In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, rosemary, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over low heat, let simmer for a few minutes, then remove the pot from the heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve.
• Gradually add the cream mixture to the potatoes, a little at a time, stirring until fully incorporated.
• Top with a pat of butter, freshly ground black pepper, and a sprinkle with chives, or gravy, if desired.
• Serve warm.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Peel and quarter the potatoes, and cook 25 minutes in a steamer. (Three or four large garlic cloves, peeled, can be steamed and pureed along with the potatoes.).
• If not yet ready to serve, it is better to leave the potatoes in the hot steamer, off heat, than to make the puree in advance and try to keep it warm.
• Just before serving, combine the cream and seasonings in a 3-quart saucepan and bring to a full boil, so it reduces slightly. Off heat, puree the potatoes through a ricer or food mill directly into the hot cream, and stir together well with a rubber spatula. (The potatoes will seem too dry at this point, but the butter brings them to the right consistency.).
• Add the butter last, beating hard to produce a fluffy texture. Serve at once.
