RIB EYE ON A BED OF MASCARPONE POTATO PUREE
Great little meal with not much effort. The potatoes are so good you will find yourself wishing you had a made a double batch.... we did! You can use any nice cut of steak for this recipe as long as the cut does not benefit from marinating it should work. Serve with a vegetable and a chilled side salad for a great little dinner. Created for RSC #12.

GOURMET MASHED POTATOES (MASCARPONE POTATO PUREE)
This is the way I make mashed potatoes to accompany a special meal. My family goes crazy over these creamy mashed potatoes and no matter how much I make, I never seem to have any left over. This is fabulous with beautiful cuts of steaks. You could possibly sub cream cheese mixed with sour cream for the mascarpone cheese, although I have never made them this way.. There is, of course, a recipe for mascarpone cheese substitute here on Zaar.

TRUFFLED MASHED POTATOES
Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them in 1-inch chunks. Place them in a large, deep saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until very tender. Drain and return the potatoes to the saucepan.
- Meanwhile, heat the half-and-half and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Off the heat, add the truffle butter and allow it to melt. If the butter doesn't melt completely, heat the mixture slightly but don't allow the truffles to cook! With a hand mixer, beat the hot potatoes in the pot until they are broken up. Slowly beat in most of the hot truffle cream, the Parmesan, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and beat until the potatoes are thick and smooth. (You may have some truffle cream left over - reserve it for reheating.)
- To keep the potatoes hot or to reheat them, place them in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Heat slowly, adding more truffle cream if the potatoes get too thick. Season to taste and serve hot.

Steps:
- Place potato halves into a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until very tender, about 15 minutes. A knife should pierce the middle of a potato half easily. Transfer potatoes to a colander and drain thoroughly, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Whisk mascarpone cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir egg yolk and milk into mascarpone cheese, whisking until smooth; season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Transfer potatoes to a separate large mixing bowl, add butter chunks to potatoes, and season with salt and black pepper. Mash butter into potatoes with a potato masher until fluffy; a few lumps are okay. Whisk mascarpone mixture into mashed potatoes.
- Spread mashed potatoes into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Smooth the top and use the tip of a spatula to lightly press the potatoes and lift up to create little peaks and valleys in the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are heated through and top is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

TRUFFLE OIL POMME PURéE

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and cut into even size dice so they all cook at the same time - about 12-15 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain well then return to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes over a dry heat. Mash the potatoes very thoroughly or press them through a potato ricer or mouli (vegetable mill) back into the pan - they should be completely lump free. Don't be tempted to use a food processor though, as it will make the potatoes gluey.
- Gradually beat 100g/4oz of the butter into the potato until it starts to look shiny. Heat the milk in a small pan and cream until on the point of boiling, then slowly mix into the potato purée with some salt and freshly ground pepper. The potato should become a soft velvety purée. You may not need all the creamy milk. Add the truffle oil and seasoning to taste. Keep warm until required or, if making ahead, cool and chill. When reheating, add a little extra creamy milk to soften the texture, and the last of the butter if you like.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are the best choices for mashed potatoes because they are starchy and fluffy.
- Peel and cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water: This will help them retain their flavor and prevent them from becoming bland.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
- Use a potato ricer or masher: This will help to create smooth and creamy mashed potatoes.
- Add the mascarpone cheese, butter, and milk: This will help to make the mashed potatoes rich and flavorful.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and truffle oil: This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh chives or parsley: This will add a pop of color and freshness.
