Black Truffle Oil Potatoes Recipes

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.

TRUFFLED MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender, about 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to a low heat for 2 to 3 minutes to dry up any excess water.
• Put the cream and butter into a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Warm until the butter has melted into the cream.
• Using a masher, mash the potatoes in the saucepan. Add the garlic, cream, butter, salt and pepper and mix well using a large spoon. Stir in the truffle oil and serve.

ROASTED RED POTATOES WITH TRUFFLE OIL AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine potatoes, onion, truffle oil, and parsley in the prepared baking dish; stir to coat potatoes with oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Stir, and continue to bake, stirring every 10 minutes, until crispy, 20 to 30 minutes longer.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake until melted, about 5 minutes.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH TRUFFLE OIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non stick spray set aside.
• Place potatoes in a large pot of boiling water. Bring to a boil and cook potatoes just until fork tender. Drain.
• Lay potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, shaking the baking sheet halfway through. Turn on the broiler and broil for 5 - 7 minutes or until the skin starts to crisp slightly.
• In a bowl whisk together salt, garlic powder, pepper and olive oil. Transfer hot potatoes to seasoning mixture. Toss to coat. Drizzle with truffle oil.

CRISPY "SMASHED" POTATOES WITH TRUFFLE OIL

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook the potatoes until they are very tender but not overcooked, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes from the water and let them drain on a dishtowel, gently patting to dry. Allow to cool.
• Gently press down on one potato with a spatula to gently flatten it to about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat, one potato at a time, until all the potatoes are flattened. Don't worry if some break apart a bit; they are still fine to use.
• Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; this reduces cleanup. Transfer the flattened potatoes carefully to the baking sheet.
• Heat the oven to 450°F Pour the olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Lift the potatoes gently to make sure some of the oil goes underneath them and that they are well coated on both sides. Roast the potatoes, about 10 to 15 minutes, turning over once gently with a spatula. Continue to roast fingerlings for about another 10 minutes until they're crispy and deep brown around the edges,. Remove from oven.
• Drizzle each potato with a few drops of truffle oil and serve hot.

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.
