Wasabi Smashed Potatoes Recipes

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.

• 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.

Roast until the bulb is soft and fragrant, 45 to 55 minutes. Squeeze the cloves from the skins and set aside in a small bowl until ready to use.
• Place the potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer until a fork inserted into a potato releases easily, about 20 minutes.
• In a small glass bowl, mix the wasabi powder with 1/2 teaspoon of water to start, adding any additional water by drops until a thick paste is created. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to bloom, at least 5 minutes.
• Drain water from the potatoes and return the potatoes to the pot, allowing excess water to evaporate. In a small saucepan or in the microwave, warm the butter and heavy cream. Add the mixture to the potatoes, along with the wasabi and roasted garlic cloves, and mash until smooth and fluffy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
