Wasabi Potato Balls Recipes

WASABI MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Remove papery outer skin of garlic bulb. Rub with olive oil and place on a small baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until skin can be easily pierced with a fork.
• While garlic is roasting, peel and quarter the potatoes. Place in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and allow potatoes to simmer until very soft, about 20 minutes. Drain water and mash potatoes with butter until smooth and fluffy.
• Squeeze softened garlic cloves out of skin into pot; in a small bowl, mix wasabi powder with just enough water to form a thick paste. Mash garlic and wasabi paste into potatoes, pour in milk and continue to mash until mixture is light and fluffy; season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.

WASABI MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until fork tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and put potatoes in a large mixing bowl. With a handheld mixer on low speed, break up potatoes. Add sour cream, butter, 1/4 cup buttermilk, and 2 teaspoons prepared wasabi and whip potatoes on medium speed. Add more buttermilk until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and white pepper, to taste. Garnish with the remaining wasabi and green onions.

CRISPY POTATO BALLS

Steps:

• Mix together the Mashed Potatoes, flour, egg, parsley, Parmesan, mozzarella and black pepper in a bowl. Place the breadcrumbs on a large plate.
• Form the potato mix into 12 golf-ball-sized balls. The mixture will be a little sticky, so wet your hands a little as you go. Place the balls directly on the breadcrumbs and roll each ball in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure they stick well. Put the breadcrumbed balls on a plate.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 375 degrees F, or until the mixture bubbles when a breadcrumb is added.
• Add the balls to the oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle immediately with salt.
• Garnish with more Parmesan and parsley.
• Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces of approximately the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until a fork easily slides into the potatoes with no resistance and the potatoes almost, but not totally, fall apart, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drain the potatoes in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over a low heat, allowing all the steam to escape.
• Turn off the stove and add the butter, cream cheese and half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Add the seasoned salt and black pepper.
• Stir well and place in a medium baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place bake until the butter has melted and the potatoes are warmed through, a few minutes.

WASABI POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 180°C Thinly slice the peeled potatoes by hand or using a mandoline, (about 2-3mm, ensuring they are as even as possible as this will help them to cook at the same time) and wash potatoes well in cold water.
• Grease the surface of a round or oval baking dish with soft butter and then rub with sliced garlic. Leave the garlic scattered in the dish.
• Combine the milk, cream and wasabi paste and season well.
• Arrange the sliced and washed potatoes in a single layer around the baking dish and then pour over the cream and milk mixture.
• Place into a preheated oven for 20 minutes until nicely browned on top and the potatoes are cooked, the cream and milk reduced until thick and creamy.

WASABI MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into approximately 2-inch chunks.
• Place in pot with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, cover with water and bring to a boil.
• When boiling, cover and reduce heat to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• While the potatoes are cooking, in a small bowl combine the wasabl powder and the water to make a paste and set aside.
• Drain the potatoes and immediately return them to the same pot.
• While the potatoes are still hot add the butter and mash until completely smooth.
• Add the cream and mash again until well combined and creamy.
• Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the wasabi paste and mash once more, until well combined.
• As mentioned above, these may be potent for some, so you may want to add the wasabi a little at a time, tasting as you go (It's perfect for me with the full amount).
• If you want creamier potatoes, add more cream by the teaspoon until desired consistency.
• Serve hot.
