Greenbrier Lobster Mashed Potato Recipes

CREAMY LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and dice the potatoes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until fork tender. Drain, then return to the pan over medium heat. Using a potato masher or wooden spoon, roughly mash the potatoes for 1 minute to remove the excess water that remains.
• Remove from the heat and add in the boursin cheese. Use a handheld mixer on medium speed to melt the cheese into the potatoes. Slowly add in the milk and whip until the potatoes are a creamy texture and no lumps remain.
• In a small saute pan over medium heat, melt together the butter and cream. Add the Old Bay, chili powder and lobster pieces and stir to combine. Sprinkle with the chives.
• Move the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and pour the lobster cream over the top. Garnish with additional chives, if desired. Stir together prior to serving.
