Categories     Mashed Potatoes

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
kosher salt to taste
½ cup grated Gruyere cheese
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
½ cup buttermilk
¾ cup cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons sliced green onions

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
  • Place potatoes into a pot, cover with fresh, cold water by 2 inches, and add 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Set heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, testing by poking potatoes with a knife. The time will depend on the size of your potatoes but could be between 15 and 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and let drain in a colander for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer into a large bowl and mash thoroughly with a potato masher until no lumps remain. Add butter, kosher salt, and Gruyere cheese. Mix and mash until everything has been incorporated.
  • Add cayenne, 3/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and buttermilk, and mash until well combined. Taste and adjust for salt.
  • Whisk cream in a metal bowl until thick and fairly stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour 1/2 of the whipped cream onto the potatoes and cut it in with the side of a spatula to lighten the mixture. Repeat with remaining whipped cream but do it carefully to preserve the maximum amount of volume, cutting in until just barely mixed.
  • Transfer into a well-buttered casserole dish and distribute gently with a fork. Smooth the top with a spoon if desired. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano on top and dust lightly with cayenne.
  • Place the baking dish on a pan and bake in the center of the preheated oven until beautifully browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with green onions before serving.

HOLIDAY MASHED POTATOES



Holiday Mashed Potatoes image

My mom passed this recipe on to me several years ago and I have been making it for every holiday dinner since. They can be made ahead, eliminating the need for mashing potatoes on the big day! I sprinkle a little paprika on top before baking to give it some color. Prep time does not include time it takes to boil the potatoes.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 lbs potatoes, peeled and cooked
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper

Steps:

  • Beat hot potatoes until all lumps are removed.
  • Add cream cheese (in small pieces) and the butter.
  • Beat well until cheese and butter are completely melted and mixed.
  • Stir in sour cream.
  • Add eggs and onion to milk and add this to the potatoes with salt and pepper.
  • Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Place in a greased 9-inch casserole.
  • Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until lightly rounded on top (puffy).

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes: These potatoes are known for their creamy texture and hold their shape well when mashed, making them ideal for a casserole.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: Adding salt to the water helps to season the potatoes and prevents them from becoming bland.
  • Mash the potatoes until smooth: Avoid leaving any lumps in the potatoes, as this will affect the texture of the casserole.
  • Add plenty of butter and milk: Butter and milk help to create a creamy and flavorful mashed potato casserole. Use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Season the mashed potatoes well: Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Top the casserole with cheese: A layer of cheese on top of the mashed potatoes adds a delicious and golden-brown crust.
  • Bake the casserole until bubbly: The casserole is done baking when it is bubbling around the edges and the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Conclusion:

Sandy's Holiday Mashed Potato Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
