VERMONT CHEDDAR MASHED POTATOES



Vermont Cheddar Mashed Potatoes image

To some, Cheddar is synonymous with Vermont, even if it is produced in several other states, too. For most, mashed potatoes are an absolute essential for a proper Thanksgiving table. Combining them seems natural, whether customary or not. Using two-year-old aged Vermont Cheddar, which is deeply flavored but not too sharp, gives these creamy mashed potatoes a subtle Cheddar presence, neither overwhelmingly cheesy nor gooey. (For everything you need to know to make perfect potatoes, visit our potato guide.)

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     side dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds medium russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
3/4 pound Vermont aged white Cheddar, grated
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Black pepper, to taste
Small pinch cayenne
Pinch of grated nutmeg
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup heavy cream, heated
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in well-salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well in a colander and place in the bowl of a stand mixer with a wire whisk attachment. Beat at medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes to allow steam to escape.
  • Turn off mixer and add cheese, baking powder, salt, pepper, cayenne and nutmeg. Beat again for a minute or so.
  • Add butter and cream, mixing slowly, then increase speed to medium and drizzle in beaten eggs. Stop and scrape down bowl with rubber spatula to make sure ingredients are incorporated evenly. Beat at medium-high speed until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately in a heated bowl. Alternatively, transfer potatoes to a 2-quart baking dish, cover with foil and let stand at room temperature. Reheat for 30 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees, until piping hot. (If you want the top browned, remove foil halfway through baking. Otherwise give the potatoes a stir before serving.)

Experiment with different cheeses for variety.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest and smoothest mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. These varieties have a high starch content, which helps to create a fluffy, creamy texture.
  • To prevent the mashed potatoes from becoming watery, drain them thoroughly after boiling. You can also rice the potatoes before mashing them, which will help to remove excess moisture.
  • Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Fontina. You can also use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
  • To get a crispy, golden-brown crust on top of the gratin, use a combination of grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil to the top before baking.
  • Bake the gratin until it is bubbly and golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Cheddar and mashed potato gratin is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy, cheesy interior and crispy, golden-brown crust, this gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
