Grainy Mustard Mashed Potatoes Recipes

GRAINY MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Add potatoes, cream, milk, garlic, thyme and bay leaf into a large saucepan and gently boil for 15 minutes until potatoes are just tender and the tip of a paring knife goes through with little resistance. Strain potatoes and reserve the cream mixture but discard the bay leaf, thyme stems and the garlic. Mash the potatoes and fold in the cream mixture until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. Fold in about a tablespoon of the olive oil, the butter, and the grainy mustard. Season with salt and pepper.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND COARSE-GRAIN MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in a large saucepan over medium heat in salted water to cover for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender.
• Drain water. Return to pan to heat for 1 to 2 minutes, shaking occasionally to dry out any remaining water.
• Add the half-and-half and butter, and heat over medium heat just until the milk starts to simmer.
• Remove from heat. Add the mustard and onions and mash to desired consistency. Taste and add more mustard if necessary.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
• Note: To caramelize onions, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a heavy-based skillet. Add 1 thinly sliced medium yellow onion. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes until onion starts to soften. Lower heat and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch of granulated sugar. Cook 20 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring frequently. Lower heat if necessary to keep onions from burning. These freeze beautifully, so you can make extra to freeze for later use.

MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a 5-quart kettle cover potatoes with cold salted water by 2 inches and simmer until tender, 35 to 45 minutes. While potatoes are simmering, in a small saucepan heat milk with butter over moderate heat until butter is melted. Remove pan from heat and keep milk mixture warm, covered.
• In a colander drain potatoes and cool just until they can be handled. Peel potatoes, transferring to a large bowl. Add mustard, salt and pepper to taste, and three fourths hot milk mixture and with a potato masher mash potatoes until smooth, adding more milk mixture if necessary to make them creamy. (Potatoes may be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely before being chilled in a buttered ovenproof dish, covered. Bring potatoes to room temperature before reheating, covered.)

Steps:

• 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.
