CREAMY AMSTERDAM MASHED POTATOES WITH SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or stockpot, bring enough water to cover the potatoes to a boil. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to the boiling water.
• Cook the potato halves in boiling water until tender. Drain well, return to heat, and dry well, being careful not to burn them.
• Put the potatoes through a ricer and into a bowl. Beat in 3 tablespoons of butter and enough of the cream to make the potatoes creamy and fluffy.
• In a saucepan, melt the remaining butter and cook the onion over medium heat until soft. Do not brown.
• Blend in the drained sauerkraut and water. Cover and simmer 35 minutes, stirring occasionally so the sauerkraut does not burn. Add small amounts of water if necessary.
• When all the water has cooked off and the sauerkraut is tender, blend the sauerkraut well with the mashed potatoes.
• Season with salt and pepper, if desired, and serve the potato-kraut very hot.

DIJON MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into quarters, cover with water and optional garlic and boil until tender- I used red potatoes with skin on.
• Alternatively, steam potatoes and garlic together.
• Just before potatoes are done, combine milk, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt and pepper until well mixed in a microwave safe bowl.
• Cover and heat in microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring half way until heated through.
• Drain potatoes, return to pot and mash lightly.
• Add butter, salt, pepper and mash again.
• Slowly add hot milk and mustard mixture, mashing until the potatoes are creamy and your preferred consistency.
• Add Parmesan cheese, mix and serve!
• NOTE- make sure you get some of the mustard grains in when you mash the potatoes.
• The grains may separate a bit if you pour the milk mixture in, so you might want to spoon in the milk and mustard mixture.
