Sous Vide Cheesy Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot or heatproof container, use a sous-vide machine to heat water to 194 degrees. Evenly divide potatoes and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt between two large reusable silicone sous-vide bags or resealable plastic bags. Slowly lower the bag into the water, allowing any air to escape. Weigh down the bags; an upside-down metal steamer basket or a metal bowl work well for this, topped with a metal spoon or tongs for extra weight, if needed. Cook until potatoes are completely tender, poking them several times to make sure, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. (Check the bag after 15 minutes; you may have to let out some steam.)
• As potatoes cook, add butter, Cheddar, sour cream, Parmesan, pepper and nutmeg to a large bowl. Add the hot potatoes and milk, and mash until the cheese melts and the mixture is as smooth as you like it, adding more hot milk if the potatoes seem dry. You can also use a potato ricer to rice the potatoes into the bowl before mixing with the cheese. Just make sure the potatoes and milk are hot, or the cheese might not melt.
• Taste and add more salt, if you like. Serve immediately, or transfer potatoes back to sous-vide bag to keep warm. Fold in chives just before serving.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by an inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain.
• Return the potatoes to the pot and add the butter, milk and some salt and pepper. Mash the potatoes to the desired consistency. While still hot, fold the cheese into the mash and stir to melt.

Steps:

• Bring potato and water to cover to a boil in a large saucepan; reduce heat, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
• Add cheese and remaining 4 ingredients; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Spoon into a 2 1/2 qt baking dish.
• Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut in half. Place in a large saucepan and cover with water.
• Cover saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Then, reduce heat to medium and boil gently, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, from 20 to 30 minutes.
• Drain potatoes and mash, preferably with a potato masher.
• Stir in butter, sour cream, salt and pepper.
• Stir in cheese just until mixed.
• Pile into a heated serving dish.
• Potatoes can be covered and kept warm in oven for up to 30 minutes.
• Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley or finely sliced green onions, if you wish.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and place a sous vide immersion cooker into the water. Set temperature to 195 degrees F (91 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Peel potatoes and cut into cubes, no bigger than 3/4 inch. Place potatoes in a single layer inside a large vacuum bag, along with cubed butter, 1/2 cup half-and-half, and sour cream. Ensure potatoes are spread out as much as possible. Seal the bag using a vacuum sealer, stopping the sealer early so liquid doesn't escape from the bag.
• Place bag into the water and set timer for 90 minutes. Some air may remain in the bag, and you will need to weigh the bag down with a heavy object to ensure bag is fully submerged. After 45 minutes, remove bag and redistribute potatoes evenly in bag, if needed.
• When timer is up, cut bag open and dump contents into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mash potatoes. Add in additional half-and-half, if needed.
