Roasted Garlic Truffle Mashed Potatoes Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Prehead oven to 400 degrees. Cut off the top of the head of garlic to expose the open tips of the cloves. Place on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1-2 tbsp olive oil, making sure it soaks down into the open cloves. Wrap the foil around the head of garlic to make an enclosed foil packet, and roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven to cool.
• While garlic is roasting, cover the potato cubes with cold water in a large pot and put on the stove on high heat to boil. Once the water begins boiling, turn down the heat to medium high and continue boiling for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes pierce easily with a fork.
• Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Mash 4 cloves of the roasted garlic into a paste and mix into potatoes, along with chicken broth, cream, butter, 3-4 tbsp truffle oil, salt, and pepper. Mash until fluffy. Use more garlic if you'd like, (you have a whole head!) but beware of overpowering the truffle oil! - I'd taste it first as written before deciding whether to add any more.
• Add more salt and pepper if you'd like, to taste. Drizzle a little extra truffle oil on top of the potatoes before serving, if desired.

ROASTED GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Slice off the very top of the garlic head. Drizzle head with olive oil and wrap in foil. Place on a sheet tray and bake until tender and fragrant, roughly 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Remove the cloves and mash with a wooden spoon.
• Place potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender and drain. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
• Meanwhile heat butter and cream until butter melts. Add the roasted garlic and potatoes and mash all together.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

CREAMY DOUBLE-GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high. Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Prepare the roasted garlic: Set each head of garlic on its side and cut off (and discard) the top 1/4 portion at the pointed end. Transfer each head of garlic to a separate piece of aluminum foil, cut-side up, and drizzle each head with 2 teaspoons oil. Pull up the surrounding aluminum foil and crimp tightly to seal. Transfer to the oven and roast until the garlic is softened and caramelized, 40 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the heads. Set aside to cool.
• Prepare the garlic chips: Line a plate with paper towels. In a small shallow saucepan or frying pan, heat the canola oil over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, fry the sliced garlic, stirring often, until just starting to turn golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (They'll continue to darken from the residual heat, so you'll want to remove them from the hot oil before they're fully golden brown.) Transfer garlic chips to the plate using a slotted spoon. Season with salt and repeat with remaining sliced garlic. Set aside.
• Prepare the boiled potatoes: Fill a large pot with water and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Fill a medium bowl about three-quarters full with water. Working with one potato at a time, peel each potato, then add it to the bowl of water. Next, working with one potato at a time, dice each into 1-inch pieces, returning each to the bowl of water after chopping. Drain the diced potatoes, then carefully add them to the pot of boiling water. Return the water to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook until potatoes are soft and can easily be pierced with a fork, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain.
• Meanwhile, prepare the herbed cream: Add the cream, bay leaves, rosemary and thyme to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high, about 5 minutes. (The mixture will bubble up vigorously, which helps reduce the liquid and concentrate the flavor.) Strain the mixture, discarding the solids, and rinse out the saucepan. Return the infused cream to the saucepan and season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside. (You should have about 1 1/3 cups.)
• Return the cooked potatoes to the pot along with the herbed cream and cubed butter. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from two heads into the potato mixture, discarding the skins, and mash until creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and add more roasted garlic, if desired. (Store leftover roasted garlic in the refrigerator for 1 week.)
• Transfer mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, dot with a generous pat of butter and sprinkle with rosemary, thyme and black pepper. Top with garlic chips, and serve immediately.

ROASTED GARLIC PARMESAN MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place garlic cloves in a small baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, cover, and bake 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add potatoes, and cook until tender but firm. Drain, and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Place roasted garlic, milk, Parmesan cheese, and butter into the bowl with the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Beat to desired consistency with an electric mixer.

ROASTED GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place garlic cloves on a small square of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap foil around garlic and bake in oven for 20 minutes or until golden. If you prefer, peel the potatoes. Quarter potatoes and cover with water in a large pot. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to hot pot and mash with masher or hand held mixer. Mash in the roasted garlic. Mix in butter, milk and salt and pepper. Transfer mashed potatoes to an oven proof dish and sprinkle top with parmesan. Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until top is golden.

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.

THE DEFINITIVE MASHED POTATO WITH ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Start with the roasted garlic: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Peel the outermost layers of skin off the heads of garlic. Cut off the top 1/3 of the heads to open the cloves. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic, cut sides up, and saute for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer pan to the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Pop garlic cloves from their skins and place cloves in a blender, along with any olive oil left in the pan. Puree until smooth; you should have a paste-like consistency.
• For the potatoes: Cube the potatoes. Then put the potatoes in a large saucepan with salted cold water and place in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, add some more salt and then bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well, place potato cubes in a food mill, and grind to remove skins. Alternatively, smash the potatoes with a large fork or potato masher.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until the butter stops foaming and turns a light brown. Add the garlic paste and cook quickly. Add the cream, season, to taste, with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and fold in potatoes with a wooded spoon or large whisk. Add the remaining butter by tablespoons, stirring after each addition. Stir in the extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
