Saffron Mash Potatoes Recipes

SAFFRON MASHED POTATOES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium-large saucepan, then cover with cold water by 1 inch and add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, about 15 minutes. Let cook until fork tender, 10-15 minutes more. Meanwhile, in a small lidded saucepan over low-medium heat, heat saffron, garlic and milk just until edges of milk start to bubble, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to let milk scald. Remove from heat, cover saucepan and let flavors infuse for 10 minutes. Add olive oil to milk infusion and gently reheat over low heat. Drain and mash potatoes. Fit an electric mixer with a paddle attachment and use it to whip mashed potatoes. With the motor running on low-medium speed, pour oil-milk infusion into potatoes in a slow, steady stream until velvety smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in remaining salt and Tabasco to taste. Ideally, allow purée to sit in a warm place to allow saffron flavor to fully develop, about 30 minutes.

• Crumble saffron threads into water.
• Peel potatoes and cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Rinse potatoes well and pat dry between paper towels.
• Heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown potatoes in 1 layer, turning over carefully, about 4 minutes per side.
