Time 45m

Yield 6 cups or 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 large potatoes, about 4 pounds, peeled
Salt to taste, if desired
1/4 pound or 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups creme fraiche or heavy cream
2 black truffles, optional
Freshly ground pepper, preferably white, to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Cut each potato into one-inch-thick slices. Put the slices in a casserole and add cold water to cover. Add salt to taste and bring to the boil. Cook about 30 minutes or until the potato slices are tender.
  • Drain the potato slices and put them through a food mill or potato ricer.
  • Put the butter in a skillet and let it melt. Continue cooking about one and one-half minutes or until the butter is lightly browned or hazelnut-colored.
  • Beat the browned butter and the creme fraiche or heavy cream into the potatoes.
  • Cut the truffles into thin slices. Stack the slices a few at a time and cut them into thin strips, or batons. There should be about a quarter cup. Add the truffles, salt, pepper and nutmeg to the potatoes and beat well. Serve hot.
