Best 6 Corys Fabulous Mashed Potatoes Recipes

CURRY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks, dropping them into a large pot of cold water as they are cut.
• Add a big pinch of salt, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Boil until tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Drain and return to the hot pan.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat.
• Add the onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 3 minutes.
• Add 2 tablespoons water and stir constantly over high heat until the onion browns, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the curry powder and cook for 3 minutes.
• Stir in 2 tablespoons water and remove from the heat.
• Add the spice mixture to the potatoes along with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the sour cream, yogurt, salt and pepper.
• Beat with a small electric mixer or mash with a potato masher until fluffy.
• Serve hot.

CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and boil for about 15 mins or until tender. Transfer to a colander and drain well, then return to the pan and set over a very low heat for 2 mins to dry completely.
• Heat the milk and butter in a small pan, then pour over the potatoes. Remove from the heat, then mash potatoes using an electric hand whisk or potato masher. Tip in the créme fraîche and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.

FLUFFY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare a steamer: Arrange an insert or basket (or a large colander, if you have neither) in a large pot, and add enough water to come just below the base of the steamer. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Rinse potatoes well, then peel. Rinse again, then cut into 1-inch chunks. Spread evenly in the steamer, cover, reduce heat to medium and steam until the potatoes are very tender, 20 to 25 minutes. A fork should slide easily into a piece and break it without effort. Turn off the stove, carefully remove the steamer insert and drain the water from the pot. Pour the potatoes back into the pot and spread evenly.
• Let the potatoes stand until their surfaces are dry, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-high until steaming, then keep warm over low. Set the potatoes over low heat and mash thoroughly with a dinner fork. Add about one-quarter of the milk and mash until the milk is incorporated.
• Scatter the butter evenly over the potatoes and mash in until all traces of butter disappear. Add half of the remaining milk and mash to incorporate, then add the rest of the milk and gently whip until smooth, circling the fork as if beating eggs. If you don't want your mashed potatoes so thick, beat in more milk. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, taste, and season more if you'd like.
• Serve immediately, keep warm over low heat for up to 1 hour, or transfer to airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Mashed potatoes thicken as they cool, so they need cream to regain the right consistency. If kept warm, gently mash in heavy cream until smooth and loose again, adding more if you'd like. If cold, heat the cream in a large pot until steaming, then add the potatoes. Gently mash and whip, adding more cream as needed, until heated through and fluffy. Season to taste again before serving.

MASHED POTATOES WITH CORN AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Place potatoes and garlic in pot, cover with water and boil until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and place in large bowl; add corn to boiling water and cook 2 minutes. Drain.
• Mash potatoes and garlic or put through a food mill. (A food mill will leave behind much of the skin.) Stir corn into mashed potatoes with enough buttermilk to make a medium-firm texture. Season with salt and pepper and stir in chives.
• To keep for up to one day, refrigerate, covered. To serve, place in glass dish, cover with plastic wrap and put in a microwave oven for about 8 minutes on high, stirring once or twice while reheating. If potatoes become too dry, stir in a little buttermilk.

CREAMY DOUBLE-GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high. Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Prepare the roasted garlic: Set each head of garlic on its side and cut off (and discard) the top 1/4 portion at the pointed end. Transfer each head of garlic to a separate piece of aluminum foil, cut-side up, and drizzle each head with 2 teaspoons oil. Pull up the surrounding aluminum foil and crimp tightly to seal. Transfer to the oven and roast until the garlic is softened and caramelized, 40 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the heads. Set aside to cool.
• Prepare the garlic chips: Line a plate with paper towels. In a small shallow saucepan or frying pan, heat the canola oil over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, fry the sliced garlic, stirring often, until just starting to turn golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (They'll continue to darken from the residual heat, so you'll want to remove them from the hot oil before they're fully golden brown.) Transfer garlic chips to the plate using a slotted spoon. Season with salt and repeat with remaining sliced garlic. Set aside.
• Prepare the boiled potatoes: Fill a large pot with water and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Fill a medium bowl about three-quarters full with water. Working with one potato at a time, peel each potato, then add it to the bowl of water. Next, working with one potato at a time, dice each into 1-inch pieces, returning each to the bowl of water after chopping. Drain the diced potatoes, then carefully add them to the pot of boiling water. Return the water to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook until potatoes are soft and can easily be pierced with a fork, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain.
• Meanwhile, prepare the herbed cream: Add the cream, bay leaves, rosemary and thyme to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high, about 5 minutes. (The mixture will bubble up vigorously, which helps reduce the liquid and concentrate the flavor.) Strain the mixture, discarding the solids, and rinse out the saucepan. Return the infused cream to the saucepan and season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside. (You should have about 1 1/3 cups.)
• Return the cooked potatoes to the pot along with the herbed cream and cubed butter. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from two heads into the potato mixture, discarding the skins, and mash until creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and add more roasted garlic, if desired. (Store leftover roasted garlic in the refrigerator for 1 week.)
• Transfer mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, dot with a generous pat of butter and sprinkle with rosemary, thyme and black pepper. Top with garlic chips, and serve immediately.
