Garlic Truffle Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 cloves garlic roasted
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp truffle oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh chives chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
- Mash the Potatoes: Add the roasted garlic cloves, heavy cream, unsalted butter, truffle oil, and grated Parmesan cheese to the pot with the potatoes. Use a potato masher or an electric mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra truffle oil and garnish with chopped fresh chives.
Notes
- For an extra smooth texture, use a ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes.
- Adjust the amount of truffle oil to suit your taste; a little goes a long way.
- Roast the garlic by wrapping the cloves in foil and baking at 400°F (200°C) for about 30 minutes until soft and fragrant.
