Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 medium Yukon gold potatoes
2 to 3 cups heavy whipping cream
2 to 3 cups whole milk
Kosher salt
2 lemons, zested
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large saucepan with the cream and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then add 1 teaspoon of salt. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are very tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove about 2 cups of the liquid and reserve. Add the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Use a potato masher to break up the potatoes while adding about 1 cup of the reserved liquid, to just 'wet' the potatoes. Add more, for desired creaminess. Spoon the potatoes into a serving bowl and serve immediately.

Bobby Flay's Lemon Potatoes image

Bobby Flay's restaurants have traditionally centered on the cuisine of the Southwest or of Spain. The menu of his new restaurant, Gato, will encompass regions around the Mediterranean - Spain, yes, but Italy, Provence, Greece, North Africa. "Lots of citrus," he said, like the Meyer lemon in this recipe for crushed potatoes. (The New York Times)

PURéED POTATOES WITH LEMON



Puréed Potatoes With Lemon image

Lemon isn't a classic seasoning for mashed potatoes, but butter makes an excellent go-between. This variation on French pommes purée is just the kind of dish that Ina Garten, who shared this recipe from her book "Modern Comfort Food" with The Times, likes to perfect for home cooks. Cooking the potatoes in less water than usual and gradually mashing in bits of chilled butter are the details that make the recipe special.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cold unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2- to 2-inch chunks. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 2 tablespoons salt, cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Uncover, lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a small paring knife, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cut the butter in 1/2-inch dice and put it back in the refrigerator.
  • After the potatoes are drained, pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat over low just until it simmers. Turn off the heat.
  • Place a food mill fitted with the finest blade on top of the large saucepan. Process the potatoes into the pan. (Alternately, use a ricer or potato masher, making sure the potatoes are very smooth before proceeding.)
  • With the heat on low, vigorously whisk the cold butter into the potatoes several bits at a time, waiting for each addition to be incorporated before adding more butter.
  • Once all the butter has been integrated, slowly whisk in enough of the hot milk to make the potatoes the desired consistency, creamy but still thick. Add 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Whisk in the lemon zest, reserving some for garnish, if desired. Season to taste, and serve hot. Sprinkle with reserved lemon zest just before serving.

Tips:

  • For a smoother mash, use a potato ricer or food mill.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes, or they will become gluey.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and capers for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have capers, you can substitute chopped fresh parsley.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or they will start to lose their flavor.

Conclusion:

Lemon and caper mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy and flavorful, with a bright and tangy twist. Whether you are serving them for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit.
