Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound mixed small Yukon Gold and red new potatoes, scrubbed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Fleur de sel or sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 17 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a skewer. Drain the potatoes and place on a sheet pan. With a potato masher or metal measuring cup, press each potato until it's about 1/2 inch thick (they will be messy). Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Roast the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until the skins have become nicely browned. Sprinkle the potatoes with the Parmesan cheese and roast for another 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese melts. Sprinkle the potatoes with the chives and fleur de sel and serve hot.

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.

GOAT CHEESE MASHED POTATOES WITH LEEKS AND CHIVES



Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes with Leeks and Chives image

Categories     Garlic     Potato     Side     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Goat Cheese     Leek     Gourmet     Small Plates

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds russet (baking) potatoes
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced well-washed white and pale green part of leek
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cups crumbled mild goat cheese such as Montrachet (about 6 ounces)
1/4 cup minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • In a saucepan combine the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, with enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch and simmer them for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender. While the potatoes are cooking, in a heavy skillet cook the leek, the onion, and the garlic in 2 tablespoons of the butter, covered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pan, and steam them over moderate heat, shaking the pan, for 30 seconds, or until any excess liquid is evaporated. Force the potatoes through a ricer or the medium disk of a food mill into a bowl and stir in the milk, the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the leek mixture, half the goat cheese, the chives, and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the mixture into a buttered 2-quart baking dish, sprinkle the remaining goat cheese over the top, and bake the mixture in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape better when smashed, resulting in a creamy texture.
  • Boil the potatoes until tender but not mushy: Overcooked potatoes will become gluey when smashed.
  • Smash the potatoes while they're still hot: This will make them easier to mash and will help them absorb the butter and seasonings better.
  • Use a good quality goat cheese: Fresh goat cheese with a creamy texture will give you the best results.
  • Don't overmix the potatoes: Overmixing will make them gummy. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Smashed potatoes are best served hot out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Smashed potatoes with goat cheese and chives are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They're creamy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy potatoes, give this recipe a try!
