CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, plus more for topping
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 to 3/4 cup half-and-half
1/2 to 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, such as Lawry's
1/2 to 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces that are generally the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. (When they're cooked through a fork should easily slide into the potatoes with no resistance, and the potatoes should almost, but not totally, fall apart.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape before adding in all the other ingredients.
  • Turn off the heat and add the butter, cream cheese and about 1/2 cup of half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Next, add about 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well, and then taste and add more half-and-half, seasoning salt and pepper if needed.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a medium-sized baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place in the oven until the butter is melted and the potatoes are warmed through.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 veal chops, with rib bone in
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound wild mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine, or cognac
2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock Homemade Chicken Stock, or low-sodium canned
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
3/4 cup milk
Freshly ground black pepper
Mesclun greens, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add veal chops, and sear until golden, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and keep warm.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the pan, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook, tossing occasionally, until they have released all of their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the wine, and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of pan with a wooden spoon, until the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the stock and cream, return chops to pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently 30 minutes. Continue cooking, uncovered, until meat is very tender and sauce has thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large saucepan of cold, salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer gently until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; pass potatoes through a potato ricer, and return to saucepan. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the milk, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and set aside until ready to serve.
  • Pour warm sauce over the chops and mashed potatoes, and serve with greens on the side.

BEST EVER CREAMY MASHED POTATOES



Best ever creamy mashed potatoes image

Make everyone's favourite side dish, creamy mashed potatoes. This simple recipe results in fluffy, comforting mash that the whole family will love

Provided by Georgina Kiely - Digital food editor, bbcgoodfood.com

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 kg floury potatoes (like Maris Piper), cut into chunks
50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, plus 1 tbsp
50g whole milk

Steps:

  • Tip the potatoes into a large pan, cover with cold water and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Set the pan over a high heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are very tender - they should be able to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain well, then return to the pan and leave to steam-dry for 5 mins.
  • Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl for a lump-free mash (you may need to do this in batches). Alternatively, mash with a potato masher until smooth, then press through a sieve using the back of a spoon to get rid of any remaining lumps.
  • Tip the 50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, the milk and some seasoning into the bowl with the hot mash. Beat everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a splash more milk to loosen, if needed. Top with the remaining 1 tbsp butter and leave it to melt for a few seconds before serving.
