Steps:
- Put your fontina in the freezer, this will make it easier to grate later.
- Peel and evenly cube potatoes, place in a pot with enough water to cover by at least two inches, add salt and place on medium heat.
- Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender.
- Drain and mash the way you prefer (I like a ricer)
- Meanwhile, bring half and half to a light simmer in a small sauce pan. Crack the cloves of garlic with the flat side of your knife, you don't have to smash it down all the way, you'll be fishing it out later.
- Add the cracked garlic to the heated half and half, either reduce heat to low or take off heat and allow the garlic to steep about 5-7 minutes, meanwhile, take the fontina out of the freezer and grate on the large holes of a box grater.
- Remove garlic, turn heat back up to medium and slowly add the fontina, whisking after each small addition. When that is completely incorporated, add the mascarpone dollops at a time and whisk till incorporated.
- Stir the mixture into the mashed potatoes and put them over medium low heat, add butter and sour cream, adjust seasonings with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Just prior to serving, stir in chives.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the Fontina cheese. Fresh and flavorful cheese will make a big difference in the overall taste of the dish.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will make the mashed potatoes gluey.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer until they are smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the mashed potatoes tough.
- Add the Fontina cheese, butter, milk, and seasonings to the mashed potatoes and stir until well combined. Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Conclusion:
Fontina mashed potatoes are a rich and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect Fontina mashed potatoes that everyone will love.
