I made this recipe up on the fly when I wanted to use up my potatoes and swiss chard from the local farmer's market. This made a perfect side and made a nice change to the normal mashed potatoes. Recipe #464332, a side, used up the swiss chard stems and goes well with this recipe.

WARM MASHED POTATO AND SWISS CHARD TERRINE



Warm Mashed Potato and Swiss Chard Terrine image

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 bunch Swiss chard (about 1 pound), rinsed
5 russet (baking) potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds)
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
4 large eggs, beaten lightly

Steps:

  • Remove coarse chard stems, reserving them for another use. In a saucepan cook chard in water clinging to its leaves, covered, over moderately high heat, stirring once or twice, until wilted and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain chard well in a colander and pat dry between paper towels. In a food processor chop chard fine and season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a loaf pan, 9 by 5 by 3 inches, and line bottom with buttered wax paper.
  • Peel potatoes and quarter. In a kettle cover potatoes by 1 inch with salted cold water and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and while still warm force through a ricer or medium disk of a food mill into a bowl. With an electric mixer beat in butter, eggs, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth.
  • Transfer half of potato mixture into another bowl and beat in chard until smooth. Spread chard mixture in prepared pan and spread plain potato mixture evenly over it. Terrine may be prepared up to this point 3 days ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Put loaf pan in a baking pan and pour enough hot water into baking pan to reach halfway up sides of loaf pan. Bake terrine in middle of oven 40 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted in center comes out clean, and let stand in loaf pan on a rack 5 minutes. Run knife around edge of terrine and invert onto a plate.
  • Serve terrine cut into slices.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Select starchy potatoes like Russet, Yukon Gold, or Bintje for smooth, creamy mashed potatoes. These varieties hold their shape well and absorb more liquid, resulting in a fluffy texture.
  • Cook Potatoes Properly: Start with cold, salted water to ensure even cooking. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Drain Potatoes Thoroughly: After cooking, drain the potatoes well and let them steam dry for a few minutes. This helps remove excess moisture, resulting in a lighter and fluffier texture.
  • Use Warm Milk and Butter: Warm milk and butter help melt and blend more easily into the potatoes, creating a smoother and richer texture. Microwave the milk and butter for a few seconds if they are cold.
  • Mash Potatoes Gradually: Start with a potato masher or ricer and gradually work your way to a smooth consistency. Over-mashing can make the potatoes gluey.
  • Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. A little bit of garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs can enhance the flavor.
  • Add Swiss Chard at the End: Stir in the sautéed Swiss chard towards the end of the mashing process to preserve its texture and color.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes and Swiss chard is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side or main course. With its creamy texture, earthy flavors, and colorful presentation, it's a perfect addition to any meal. Experiment with different potato varieties, seasonings, and add-ins to create your own unique mashed potato masterpiece.
