Trisha Yearwoods Mashed Potatoes Recipes

REAL MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them in 1-inch cubes. Place the potatoes in a pressure cooker with water to cover and a tablespoon of salt and cook over medium heat until tender, for about 5 minutes. You can also cook the potatoes in a saucepan, bring to boil and reduce to simmer until tender, for about 30 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and transfer them into the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the butter and milk and whip the potatoes to a smooth texture, about 5 minutes. You shouldn't see any lumps. If you do, keep mixing. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

LOADED GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Spread the bacon over the cooling rack so that none of the slices are touching. Slice the top off the head of garlic so the cloves are exposed. Drizzle the exposed cloves with the olive oil and sprinkle with some salt and pepper, then wrap in aluminum foil to create a packet. Roast both until the bacon is crispy and the garlic is soft, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the water from the pot and transfer the potatoes to a stand mixer. Add the cream, butter, sour cream, 6 cloves of the roasted garlic and 1 3/4 cups of the Cheddar to the mixer and whip until combined and smooth. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and top with the remaining Cheddar. Crumble the bacon over the top and sprinkle with the scallions. Serve immediately.

TRISHA YEARWOOD'S PERFECT MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pan and cover with cold water. Place the pan on medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Drain well and transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted. Do not let the milk mixture boil. Using an electric mixer, beat the potatoes on the lowest speed. While beating, slowly add the milk mixture. Just beat the potatoes long enough to incorporate the liquid, do not over beat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
• Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the potatoes and salt in a pressure cooker with water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes until very tender, about 5 minutes. (If you do not have a pressure cooker, boil the potatoes in a pot of water with a pinch of salt until tender, about 20 minutes.)
• While the potatoes boil, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels and, when cool enough to handle, crumble it into small pieces. Set aside.
• Add the milk, mayonnaise, sour cream, butter, garlic salt, pepper and 1 cup of the cheese to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Whip the mixture until thoroughly combined. Drain the potatoes and add to the mixer. Mix again to combine and the potatoes are whipped smooth.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and remaining 1 cup cheese over the top and bake until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through, about 20 minutes.

ART SMITH'S GARLIC MASHED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Add the cauliflower and a pinch of salt to a boiling pot of water and cook until cooked through and very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well and quickly dry well with paper towels. Add the hot cauliflower to a food processor with the chicken stock, cheese, olive oil, yogurt and garlic and process until smooth. Stir in a pinch of salt and pepper and the chopped rosemary, and serve immediately.

TRISHA YEARWOOD'S POTATO-BEEF CASSEROLE RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with water to cover by 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender. Potatoes cook quickly. Test often for tenderness and don't overcook them. Alternatively, cook the potatoes in a pressure cooker for 5 minutes, releasing the pressure immediately to prevent overcooking. Drain the potatoes and arrange them in a 6- by 9- by 2-inch casserole dish. In a large skillet, add a little oil to coat the pan. Combine the beef and onion and cook together over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion softened, about 10 minutes. Drain excess fat. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and the flour turns light brown in color. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue to stir while cooking over medium heat. When the mixture thickens, season with salt and pepper, then stir in the cheese and browned beef and onions. Pour the ground beef mixture over the potatoes and bake the casserole for 20 minutes, until heated through and bubbling. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top of the casserole and bake until the crumbs are toasted, about 5 minutes longer.

• Cook's Note.
• Because all the ingredients are fully cooked, if they are still hot when you assemble the casserole, the baking time can be greatly reduced or even eliminated; simply brown the crumb topping under the broiler for a couple of minutes.

TWICE BAKED POTATOES (TRISHA YEARWOOD) RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash the potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Rub the potatoes with the olive oil and place them on a jellyroll pan or a large cookie sheet with a rim. Bake the potatoes for 45 minutes to an hour, or until done. Remove the potatoes from the oven and cut them in half lengthwise. Set aside. Reduce the temperature of the oven to 350 degrees F. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the potato flesh into a large electric mixing bowl. Add the milk, butter, sour cream, cheese, garlic salt, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until creamy. Divide the mixture evenly and spoon it back into the potato shells. Return the potatoes to the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with the bacon and green onion. Cook Notes: I learned the hard way not to wrap the potatoes in foil before baking. It softens the shells and they will fall apart not good! Baking them unwrapped makes the shells stronger for scooping out the potato flesh later.
