Ingredients
- 2 ½ lbs starchy potatoes 1200 g, Note 1
- ½ cup whole milk 125 ml, Notes 2,3
- 2 tablespoons butter room temperature, Note 4
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 5 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan loosely packed, 30 g/ 1 oz Note 5
- 1 tablespoon white truffle oil Note 6
- a few gratings nutmeg
- Fine sea salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into 1 inch/ 2 ½ cm chunks. Place them in a large saucepan, and cover them with cold water.
- Cook potatoes: Bring them to a boil on high heat. Add about ½ tablespoon salt. Boil on medium-high heat for about 15 minutes or until fork tender.
- Drain potatoes very well in a colander and return them to the hot pot.
- Mash potatoes with the potato masher or ricer.
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan or microwave.
- Combine: Pour the milk over the potatoes. Add the soft butter, cream cheese, Parmesan, one teaspoon of fine sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Fold them in gently using a wooden spoon until they are fully incorporated. Feel free to add a bit more warm milk if you want a softer consistency.
- Add the truffle oil and stir again without overmixing.
- Adjust the taste with more salt if required.
- Serve immediately. You could add a tiny extra drizzle of truffle oil if you like, but don't overdo it.
Equipments used:
Notes
- Starchy potatoes: Yukon gold and russet potatoes (in the US), Kind Edward and Maris Piper (in the UK), or Coliban and Desiree (in Australia).
- You can also use half-half (a mixture of whole milk and heavy cream).
- Feel free to add a bit more warm milk to the mash to achieve the desired consistency.
- You can use unsalted or salted butter; adjust the salt accordingly.
- The freshly grated Parmesan volume differs from the already grated cheese volume. I strongly recommend using fresh Parmesan. If you use already grated, about 2 tablespoons should be enough.
- You can use black truffle oil as well. However, as it has a stronger flavor, start with less and add more to taste.
