Mustard Mashed Potatoes (Tyler Florence)

"I saw this on an episode of Tyler's Ultimate. Definitely a twist on mashed potatoes - you boil the potatoes in milk/cream instead of water, then use the liquid when mashing. Curious to see if this would work with buttermilk to save some calories. Can't wait to try it!"

directions

  • Scrub unpeeled potatoes, add to pot along with enough milk to cover potatoes halfway. Then add enough cream to completely cover the potatoes. Also add peeled/crushed garlic cloves and thyme. Bring to a boil and cook until tender.
  • When potatoes are done, drain them in a colander under which a large bowl has been placed. Place potatoes back into the cooking pot.
  • Mash potatoes. Add cupfuls of the hot milk/cream as you mash, until you reach desired consistency. Add a pat of butter and salt and pepper to taste. Fold in two heaping tablespoons of course-grain mustard.
  • Any leftover milk/cream can be used to "revive" your potatoes in case you end up with late dinner guests or if you have leftovers.

  1. It is easy to burn milk. I would replace 'boil' with the word 'simmer'.
     
  2. I don't see mustard in his original recipe - to each his own. However, I will tell you that if you will use chicken stock (vegetable stock if you are Vegetarian) instead of water when boiling/simmering, you will enjoy the flavor or the finished product much more.
     
  3. I found no trouble at all in following the directions in this recipe (made much like my mom used to do it!) & the resulting mashed potato dish was VERY TASTY, especially with the thyme & mustard! One thing you need to watch is the amount of hot milk you add to the mashed potatoes in order to get the consistency you want ~ Some like 'em fluid, while others like 'em much thicker! Thank you for a very nice taste experience! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the current Pick A Chef]
     
  4. I enjoyed this recipe. The left over milk/potato mixture is a great base for a pasta sauce the next day. Just a way i found to not waste it. But i like the idea of cooking it in cream. I think cooking the potatoes in water is just as good too. Just save some potato water like pasta water. It goes along way. Enjoy. Thanks for posting this.
     
  5. It was ok, nothing outstanding, but the potatoes could have been boiled in water and I don't think you would have noticed the difference.

Hi, I'm Nina and I live in sunny Phoenix. I looooove cooking and trying new foods. I was so excited to find Recipezaar, My family is Southeast Asian so I grew up eating lots of rice, curries and a variety of exotic fish and unusual veggies - my tastes have remained eclectic in adulthood. My rice cooker is my best friend and anything spicy is a winner in my book. I have a wonderful "family" in AZ, my awesome BF and our dog Chunky. They are most often my guinea pigs when it comes to recipes. I would love to incorporate my love for cooking into my life somehow by opening my own restaurant or catering service someday. First I'm hoping to get a shiny new MBA :)
