Best Truffle Mashed Potato Recipes

TRUFFLED MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them in 1-inch chunks. Place them in a large, deep saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until very tender. Drain and return the potatoes to the saucepan.
• Meanwhile, heat the half-and-half and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Off the heat, add the truffle butter and allow it to melt. If the butter doesn't melt completely, heat the mixture slightly but don't allow the truffles to cook! With a hand mixer, beat the hot potatoes in the pot until they are broken up. Slowly beat in most of the hot truffle cream, the Parmesan, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and beat until the potatoes are thick and smooth. (You may have some truffle cream left over - reserve it for reheating.)
• To keep the potatoes hot or to reheat them, place them in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Heat slowly, adding more truffle cream if the potatoes get too thick. Season to taste and serve hot.

TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Salt the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Drain and return them to the pan.
• Set the pan over low heat and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the excess moisture evaporates. Rice the potatoes in a food mill or ricer into a bowl, or simply put them in a bowl and mash them with a potato masher. Add the butter, working it into the potatoes until blended.
• In a small saucepan, bring the half-and-half and sliced truffles to a boil over medium heat, infusing the cream with a powerful truffle flavor. Add the mixture to the potatoes slowly, stirring gently, until desired consistency. Do not overmix the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and set aside to keep warm.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender, about 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to a low heat for 2 to 3 minutes to dry up any excess water.
• Put the cream and butter into a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Warm until the butter has melted into the cream.
• Using a masher, mash the potatoes in the saucepan. Add the garlic, cream, butter, salt and pepper and mix well using a large spoon. Stir in the truffle oil and serve.

MASHED POTATO TRUFFLES

Steps:

• For the truffles: Set up a double boiler over low heat. Add the chocolate chips, almond milk, sugar, vanilla and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chips are melted and the mixture is well blended. Remove from the heat and stir in the mashed potatoes until completely incorporated.
• Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or small baking dish and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• For the coatings: Pour the cocoa, pistachios and toasted coconut into separate small bowls.
• Using a tablespoon measure or small scoop, scoop out a ball from the chocolate mixture and roll between the palms of your hands. Place in the desired coating, rolling it around to coat, then transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chocolate mixture and coatings.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
