Potato Mousseline image

Here is a riff on the classic side dish that calls for running the potatoes through a ricer (if you don't have one, a splatter screen over a bowl will work just as well), the addition of brown butter and a sprinkling of grated nutmeg. The result is something just as comforting, but a bit more complex and flavorful. (And for everything you need to know to make perfect potatoes, visit our potato guide.)

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds waxy potatoes, preferably Yukon Golds or fingerlings
Salt
3 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
Whole nutmeg
Fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and simmer in salted water to cover until tender, about 15 minutes. While potatoes cook, place cream in a small pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until reduced to about 2 cups.
  • Place butter in small pan and heat until it just begins to brown and it smells nutty. Set aside.
  • Drain potatoes and run through a food mill or ricer. Pass potatoes through a fine sieve into a bowl. (A splatter screen set over a bowl can work well. Move potatoes through screen with a plastic scraper.) Lightly fold in the cream.
  • Reheat browned butter if needed. Swirl browned butter into potatoes. Top with several grinds of nutmeg and a sprinkling of fleur de sel.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I made this recipe with vegan butter and cream. It turned out great! I was so happy to be able to enjoy potato mousseline again.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it needs a few tweaks. I would add more seasoning, and I would also roast the potatoes before mashing them.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my potato mousseline didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This potato mousseline was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less butter and cream.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of mashed potatoes. But I'm so glad I did! This potato mousseline is amazing. It's so light and fluffy, and the flavor is out of this world.

I love potato mousseline! It's so creamy and delicious. I usually make it with mashed potatoes, but I'm definitely going to try this recipe with roasted potatoes next time.
