MASHED POTATO TRUFFLES: DARK CHOCOLATE AND ORANGE #SP5

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine well the mashed potatoes, the zest of one navel orange, and the juice of half of the orange.
• Melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips either in a double boiler, or by heating in the microwave for approximately 1.5 minutes, stirring every 25-30 seconds.
• Once the chocolate is thoroughly melted, add it to the potato mixture, stir well to combine, then allow the mix to chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, or until a scooped portion of the mix can be easily shaped (rolled in your hands).
• Line a baking sheet with wax paper. You're ready to form the truffles: scoop an approximately tablespoon-sized amount of the filling, and form into a ball by rolling with your hands. Set these on the wax paper, then allow the balls to chill in the refrigerator or freezer for another 30 minutes.
• Melt the remaining chocolate chips and dip the chilled filling balls to coat completely. The chocolate sets quickly, so work fast, and enjoy! These keep very well in the refrigerator and freezer and make great gifts.

CRISPY TRUFFLE POTATOES

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Cover with cold water, salt the water generously and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, pat dry and set aside.
• Meanwhile, fill a Dutch oven or heavy saucepan about halfway with oil. Heat over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Pour the truffle cream into a nonstick skillet over medium heat and let simmer. Add 1 tablespoon of the parsley.
• Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes in batches and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, the rosemary, thyme and the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Toss until the potatoes are coated.
• Pour half of the truffle cream onto a serving platter. Mound the potatoes on top and drizzle with the remaining cream. Serve immediately.

CHEF JOHN'S TRUFFLED POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Melt 1 1/3 tablespoon butter with olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; cook mushrooms in the hot butter-oil mixture, stirring often, until browned on the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.

• Spread 1/3 the potatoes into the bottom of the prepared baking dish in a layer; season with salt, black pepper, 1/2 the thyme leaves, and 1/2 the cooked mushrooms. Sprinkle almost half the sottocenere cheese over potatoes, reserving about 3 tablespoons for the top. Layer next 1/3 the potatoes over cheese, season with salt and black pepper, remaining 1/2 thyme leaves, 1/2 the remaining cheese, remaining mushrooms, and last layer of potatoes. Season potatoes with more salt and black pepper. Pour chicken stock and cream over the top. Sprinkle with more salt and black pepper and reserved 3 tablespoons of sottocenere cheese. Cover dish loosely with aluminum foil; tent the foil a little so it doesn't touch the potatoes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are bubbly, about 45 minutes. Remove foil and cook until top is browned, about 15 more minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
