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.

BUTTERMILK MASHED POTATOES
From "Barefoot Contessa At Home" by Ina Garten. She says, "whenever I'm in San Francisco, I have to go to Zuni Café. Judy Rodgers, the amazing founder, told me that her buttermilk mashed potatoes were so popular that whatever she pairs with them on the menu is the most popular dish that night. I came right home and made my version of her famous dish." Have not tried these as yet, but they are a good read. Am posting here for safe-keeping. However, I did include some parsley to the dish.

Tips:
- For the best results, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. These varieties are known for their creamy texture and hold their shape well when mashed.
- To make sure your potatoes are evenly cooked, cut them into uniform pieces. This will help them cook at the same rate.
- Don't overcook your potatoes. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Drain your potatoes well before mashing them. This will help prevent them from becoming watery.
- Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. A potato ricer will help remove any lumps and create a light and fluffy texture.
- If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a food processor or a hand mixer to mash your potatoes. Just be careful not to overmix them, or they will become gluey.
- Season your mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and butter. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, chives, or sour cream, to taste.
- Serve your mashed potatoes immediately. They are best when they are hot and fluffy.
