LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES
I had this amazing dish at a lovely Pacific Northwest steakhouse and I knew I had to figure out how to make this special treat. These potatoes were so delicious, I could have skipped the steak entirely. This is my take on this rich and decadent side dish. This has become one of our traditions on Valentine's Day with a fabulous tenderloin steak. YUMMY! This would work well with your own mashed potato recipe instead of the basic mashed potato recipe listed here. You could certainly do this recipe with lobster tails instead of the whole lobster. You could even use precooked lobster ignoring the lobster cooking instructions. It looks like it is time consuming, but it is so easy and worth the effort for a special meal.

Steps:
- Peel and dice the potatoes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until fork tender. Drain, then return to the pan over medium heat. Using a potato masher or wooden spoon, roughly mash the potatoes for 1 minute to remove the excess water that remains.

FILET MIGNON OVER LOBSTER BOURSIN MASHED POTATOES WITH A MERLOT REDUCTION

Steps:
- Heat the 3 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan, and saute the garlic and shallots over a gentle heat until translucent. (If you have any trimmings of meat, you would add them at this time). Deglaze the pan with the wine, and add the beef stock and the thyme and rosemary. Allow this mixture to reduce. It could take 20 to 30 minutes (sometimes longer) at a rolling boil, uncovered. You want the liquid to evaporate to about 1/3 of what you started with (in order to intensify the flavor). Once you have reduced the liquid to the required volume, remove from the heat, strain through a chinois (a conical strainer) or some cheesecloth (so you can remove all the vegetables and herbs), return the sauce to the pan and stir in the butter to finish the sauce.
- For the potatoes:
- Boil the potatoes with the bay leaves until the potatoes are tender. While the potatoes are cooking, saute lobster meat in oil and butter until it is no longer translucent, and set aside. Drain the potatoes well and discard the bay leaves, then mash the potatoes. Using a beater, add in 1 stick of butter and salt and white pepper. Fold the lobster meat into the potatoes and set aside in a warm place.;
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season beef with salt and pepper. In a heavy bottomed, oven-safe saute pan, add just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and heat on medium high heat on the stovetop. When the saute pan is hot, cook each side of the filets for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, leaving undisturbed for the first 2 minutes or so. Turn the filets and continue the searing process on the other side of the filets for another 2 to 3 minutes. Place the pan of steaks into the preheated oven. Allow the filets to cook a further 6 to 8 minutes in the oven (depending on the thickness of the steaks and the heat of your oven).
- While the steaks are in the oven finish the potatoes by crumbling the Boursin cheese into the lobster mashed potatoes which you have been keeping warm and gently stirring it in to allow cheese to melt.
- Remove the pan of steaks from oven and allow them to rest. (Remember to use an oven mitt; the handle of the pan will be hot!)
- If necessary, briefly re-heat the Merlot sauce, then remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the whole stick of butter.
- Plate a portion of mashed potatoes in the center of serving plate. Top with the filet mignon, spoon the Merlot sauce over and around and garnish with chopped chives.
LOBSTER-STUFFED POTATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F; position an oven rack in the middle of the oven.
- Poke holes in the potatoes, then place them on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until just soft, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the lobsters in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes-this will put the lobsters to sleep and calm them down so they're not so acrobatic when you try to finish them off. Fill a large pot with water and add enough salt so the water tastes like seawater, then bring to a boil. Fill a very large bowl with ice and water.
- Working with one lobster at a time, in one decisive motion, plunge a chef's knife into and all the way through the lobster's head so the head is halved vertically-this kills it quickly. Break down the lobster by removing the claws and the tail. Discard the lobster carcasses or save them to make lobster stock later.
- Add the lobster tails to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, then add the claws and cook for an additional 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the lobster from the boiling water and set aside. Once cool, crack the claws and tails and remove the meat. Quarter the tails lengthwise and chop. Cut the claw meat in half and chop it into pieces the same size as the tail meat.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly; leave the oven on. Carefully, without breaking the skin, slice the potatoes in half and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Reserve for later.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and cook until the milk solids sink to the bottom of the pan and turn hazelnut brown and the butter starts to smell nutty, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rosemary and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the scallions and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the scooped potato flesh, salt and pepper to the saucepan and stir to combine. Add the chopped lobster, creme fraiche and 3/4 cup of the Gruyere. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Spoon the potato-lobster mixture into the potato shells and place them in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan or on a quarter-sheet tray. Sprinkle the potatoes with the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere and bake until the potatoes are hot and bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes. Top with the scallions, and serve.

LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:
- Boil the potatoes with the bay leaves until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes well and discard the bay leaves, then mash the potatoes, using a food mill, add the butter, cream hot and salt and white pepper. Fold the Boursin cheese and sour cream allowing it to melt into the potatoes and set aside in a warm place. Combine all ingredients, except the butter. Bring to a simmer and reduce by 2/3. Turn down the heat, and start adding the cold butter whisking constantly to emulsify. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper. Strain through chinois. To finish, gently poach the diced lobster in the burre fondue. Place the poached lobster on top of the boursin mashed potatoes. Sauce with some more burre fondue. Garnish with chives. If you are using fresh lobster, I suggest that you steam the lobster to make it easier to remove from the shell. Then heat and complete the cooking by warming it in the butter sauce. I also like to cook the claws longer than the tail. You don't want the tails to be over cooked and rubbery. This recipe is well worth the effort for cooking and cleaning the fresh lobster.
Tips:
- Use fresh lobster: Fresh lobster will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lobster, you can use frozen lobster, but be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
- Cook the lobster properly: Lobster is a delicate seafood, so it's important to cook it properly. Overcooked lobster will be tough and chewy. The best way to cook lobster is to steam it. You can also boil it, but be sure to not overcook it.
- Make sure your sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the mashed potatoes. If it's too thin, it will just run off the potatoes. You can thicken the sauce by adding a roux (a mixture of butter and flour) or by simmering it for a longer period of time.
- Season the sauce to taste: Be sure to season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine to brighten the flavor of the sauce.
- Serve the sauce hot: Lobster sauce is best served hot. You can keep it warm by placing it in a fondue pot or by reheating it in a saucepan over low heat.
Conclusion:
Lobster sauce is a delicious and elegant addition to mashed potatoes. It's perfect for special occasions or for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a lobster sauce that will impress your friends and family.
