Savory Avocado Wasabi Mashed Potatoes image

Avocado adds terrific flavor and super creaminess to mashed potatoes. The savory bacon and tang of the wasabi add great layers of flavor. NOTE: Steaming the excess moisture from the potatoes after boiling makes them extra fluffy.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 russet potatoes
4 slices thick cut bacon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 ripe mexican avocado
2 teaspoons prepared wasabi paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon black sesame seed

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes, cut them into quarters then cook in boiling, salted water until they are fork tender.
  • While the potatoes boil, cook the bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces.
  • Drain the potatoes and then return them to the cooking pan. Turn the heat to low and allow the potatoes to sit in the pan until all of the visible moisture has evaporated (about 2 minutes), then remove them from the heat.
  • Melt the butter in a small saute pan. Thinly slice the shallot and add it to the melted butter. Cook the shallot for 5 minutes over moderate heat until it is softened and just beginning to turn light golden in color, then remove from the heat.
  • Add the half and half to the potatoes and mash them well with a hand masher. Remove the pit and scrape the avocado from the skin and add it directly to the potatoes, then mash again until smooth. Stir in the butter and shallots and cooked, crumbled bacon. Stir in the wasabi paste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Scoop the potatoes into a serving bowl and scatter the thinly sliced green onions over the top. Sprinkle the black sesame seeds over the top and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my mashed potatoes turned out lumpy and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I thought the avocado and wasabi flavors were a bit too strong. I would recommend using less wasabi next time.

I'm not a huge fan of wasabi, but I really enjoyed these mashed potatoes. The avocado mellows out the heat of the wasabi, and the result is a delicious and creamy dish.
