Mustard Mashed Potatoes Recipes

MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES (TYLER FLORENCE)

Steps:

• Scrub unpeeled potatoes, add to pot along with enough milk to cover potatoes halfway. Then add enough cream to completely cover the potatoes. Also add peeled/crushed garlic cloves and thyme. Bring to a boil and cook until tender.
• When potatoes are done, drain them in a colander under which a large bowl has been placed. Place potatoes back into the cooking pot.
• Mash potatoes. Add cupfuls of the hot milk/cream as you mash, until you reach desired consistency. Add a pat of butter and salt and pepper to taste. Fold in two heaping tablespoons of course-grain mustard.
• Any leftover milk/cream can be used to "revive" your potatoes in case you end up with late dinner guests or if you have leftovers.

GRAINY MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Add potatoes, cream, milk, garlic, thyme and bay leaf into a large saucepan and gently boil for 15 minutes until potatoes are just tender and the tip of a paring knife goes through with little resistance. Strain potatoes and reserve the cream mixture but discard the bay leaf, thyme stems and the garlic. Mash the potatoes and fold in the cream mixture until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. Fold in about a tablespoon of the olive oil, the butter, and the grainy mustard. Season with salt and pepper.

MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a 5-quart kettle cover potatoes with cold salted water by 2 inches and simmer until tender, 35 to 45 minutes. While potatoes are simmering, in a small saucepan heat milk with butter over moderate heat until butter is melted. Remove pan from heat and keep milk mixture warm, covered.
• In a colander drain potatoes and cool just until they can be handled. Peel potatoes, transferring to a large bowl. Add mustard, salt and pepper to taste, and three fourths hot milk mixture and with a potato masher mash potatoes until smooth, adding more milk mixture if necessary to make them creamy. (Potatoes may be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely before being chilled in a buttered ovenproof dish, covered. Bring potatoes to room temperature before reheating, covered.)

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes and cut in quarters. Place in saucepan with cream, milk, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a strong simmer and cook 15 minutes, until potatoes are just tender (the tip of a knife slides in with no resistance, but you need to give a nudge to get the potato to slide off again).
• Strain potatoes, reserving cream. Discard bay leaf, thyme stems and garlic. Mash the potatoes (by hand, with a ricer, or a food mill). Add spoonfuls of the hot cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add olive oil, butter and mustard. Season with salt and pepper, and serve hot.
