Categories     side-dish

Time 9h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and rinsed
1 gallon whole milk
4 ounces unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and slice as thinly as possible on a mandoline directly into a large, 8-quart container filled with 4 quarts of cold water. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Drain the potatoes and rinse with clean, cold water; spin dry in a salad spinner. Transfer the potatoes to an 11-quart pot, cover with the milk and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, about 35 minutes. Reduce the heat in order to maintain a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork tender and beginning to fall apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Reserve 1 cup of the cooking milk. Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander and return them to the pot. Press the potatoes through a ricer into a large mixing bowl. Add the reserved hot milk, butter and salt and use an electric hand mixer to whip on low speed for 15 to 30 seconds. Do not overwhip.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
salt
1 Garlic clove
1 bay leaf
3/4 cup whole milk
8 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Cook the potatoes: Peel and cut potatoes into big pieces (that can fit in the palm of your hand). Place in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover the potatoes by an inch or so. Bring to a simmer and add 4 pinches of salt, a bay leaf and a smashed clove of garlic. Cook until the potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Potatoes are done when the tip of a knife yields a firm, not mushy texture. Drain the potatoes, discard the bay leaf, and toss the potatoes back into the pan over low heat to dry them out.
  • Assemble the mashed potatoes: Pass the potatoes through a ricer and add them back into the warm saucepan. Add butter and stir to melt and combine with the potatoes. Add the milk in two additions, continuing to stir the entire time. Taste and season with more salt. Serve immediately.

AMAZING MASHED POTATOES



Amazing Mashed Potatoes image

When I was growing up, my parents always made mashed potatoes from flakes.... ugh! It was such a treat to go to our grandparents house on holidays. Grandpa made his potatoes by hand with his special recipe that no one else has been able to match. I made it a point to help him get the potatoes ready for big dinners until I learned his recipe by heart. A few years ago, I volunteered to make them for my in-laws' Thanksgiving party. Word spread... and now I'm the designated potato maker for EVERY function on BOTH sides of the family. It's okay though... it's an honor... and I can't get enough of them myself!

Categories     Mashed Potatoes

Time 45m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 lbs potatoes (I use regular Idaho russet potatoes.)
1 -2 cup sour cream
1/2-3/4 cup salted sweet creamy butter (I use Challenge whipped butter.)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (32 ounce) carton chicken stock
salt (to taste)
milk (Optional... I rarely use it, but whole or Vitamin D work best if you do.)

Steps:

  • Peel and rinse potatoes, and cut them into small chunks (approximately 1 inch cubes.) Bigger chunks take longer to cook.
  • Put potato chunks into a large stock pot.
  • Add the carton of chicken stock to the potatoes in the pot. (If you want, you can save a little of the chicken stock to add to the potatoes after they've been drained later on. It gives a little more flavor -- )
  • Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of salt over the potatoes and fill the pot with water just until potatoes are covered.
  • Boil the potatoes until the chunks are soft enough to break apart when poked with a fork.
  • Drain the potatoes.
  • While potatoes are still hot, add the butter, sour cream, and cream cheese. If you saved any of the chicken stock, you can add that now. Just make sure it's been heated well, especially if it's homemade. I always start with 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup of sour cream, and 1/2 of the cream cheese. After it's melted and mixed in, you can go back and add more if you want. I end up using different amounts almost every time -- just more until it tastes right. I generally mash the potatoes a little by hand, and then use a hand mixer to finish the job. Don't whip the potatoes too long, though, or they'll lose their texture. They should stay thick and not be too smooth.
  • Sprinkle salt over potatoes to taste, and stir in well.
  • The resulting mashed potatoes should be fairly thick, perhaps just a little on the lumpy side. If you absolutely must have them a little more runny, you can add some milk (1/4 cup at a time) and whip with a hand mixer until you get the desired consistency.
  • Make sure to serve them while they're warm! I usually double this recipe for holidays, and I haven't taken home any leftovers yet -- .

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes: These varieties are ideal for mashed potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them fluffy and creamy when mashed.
  • Peel the potatoes before boiling: This will help the potatoes cook evenly.
  • Boil the potatoes in unsalted water: Salt can toughen the potatoes.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly before mashing: This will prevent the potatoes from being watery.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes: This will give you the smoothest, creamiest mashed potatoes.
  • Add butter, milk, and seasonings to taste: The amount of butter, milk, and seasonings you add will depend on your personal preference.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: Mashed potatoes are best when served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Whipped potatoes are a classic side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect whipped potatoes that will be the star of your next meal.
