Lemon and Caper Mashed Potatoes image

This buttery potato side dish packs a zesty punch, thanks to fresh lemon and capers. To keep mashed potatoes warm for up to two hours, place them in a heatproof bowl over a pot filled with three inches of barely simmering water; cover to seal in the steam.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
Coarse salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons capers, drained and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large saucepan, and fill with enough water to cover potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add a generous amount of salt; reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 15 minutes. Drain; using a potato masher or potato ricer, mash potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 5 tablespoons butter, milk, lemon juice, zest, and capers. Heat until butter is melted and the mixture is warm to the touch.
  • Fold the milk mixture and parsley into the mashed potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Dot with remaining tablespoon butter just before serving.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The potatoes were undercooked and the sauce was way too salty.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes turned out gluey. I think I might have overcooked them.

I found that the potatoes were a little bland. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time.

These mashed potatoes were a little too lemony for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of capers, but I'm so glad I did! The capers added a really nice salty flavor that balanced out the lemon.
