GOAT CHEESE MASHED POTATOES RECIPE



Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes Recipe image

The Southern Living Test Kitchen has made a lot of mashed potato recipes during its 50 years, and we have to say that this is one of our best mashed potatoes yet. Our typical mashed potato recipes call for milk and butter, but these mashed potatoes are truly over the top with the addition of goat cheese, heavy cream, and chopped fresh chives. Two cups of tangy goat cheese balances out the natural sweetness of the cream and potatoes while also adding more body and texture to the mashed potato dish. We call for plain goat cheese, but for something a little different, you can substitute a flavored goat cheese such as garlic and herb, or even sun-dried tomato. Instead of topping the mashed potatoes with chives-a classic combination-you can substitute parsley, rosemary, or thyme. Our recipe calls for the soft, cooked potatoes to be mashed with a potato masher, but if you light your potatoes extra light and fluffy, you can also use a ricer. Best of all, this easy mashed potato recipe doesn't require any additional time or effort to prepare-in two simple steps you'll have a big bowl of creamy, comforting mashed potato goodness.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup whole milk
1 onion, chopped
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
4 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), crumbled

Steps:

  • Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, bring milk, onion and butter to boil in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat.
  • Drain potatoes and return to pot. Add hot milk mixture and mash. Add goat cheese and mash until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Before serving, stir over low heat until heated through.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: While any type of potato can be used for mashed potatoes, Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes are the most popular choices. Yukon Gold potatoes are creamy and smooth, while Russet potatoes are fluffy and light. For the best results, use a combination of both types of potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: To ensure that the mashed potatoes are creamy and smooth, it is important to cook the potatoes until they are very tender. You can do this by boiling them in water or steaming them. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and let them cool slightly before mashing them.
  • Use a good quality goat cheese: The quality of the goat cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the mashed potatoes. Look for a goat cheese that is fresh and creamy. Avoid goat cheeses that are dry or crumbly.
  • Season the mashed potatoes well: Mashed potatoes are a blank canvas, so you can season them to your liking. Some popular seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and herbs such as parsley, chives, and thyme.
  • Don't overmix the mashed potatoes: Overmixing the mashed potatoes will make them gluey. Mash the potatoes just until they are combined and smooth.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes with goat cheese are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a great way to use up leftover goat cheese. Whether you are making them for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, these mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit.
