Tomato Mashed Potatoes Recipes

ITALIAN POTATO RECIPE

Steps:

• Peel and cut potatoes into wedges.
• Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water while prepping the rest of the ingredients.
• Thinly slice the onion. Set aside.
• Mince the garlic. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425° F (220° C).
• Place oven grate on the lower center rack.
• Empty the can of whole peeled canned tomatoes in a large bowl.
• Add one cup of water to the can, swirl and empty contents in the bowl.
• Hand crush the tomatoes.
• Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika and salt and pepper. Feel free to adjust seasonings. Combine together and set aside.
• Drain the water from the potatoes.
• Add the sliced onions and crushed tomatoes and combine.
• Toss the sliced onions with the potato wedges in a large deep baking dish (10.5 x 14.75 inches).
• Arrange the potatoes and vegetables in a single layer, in the baking dish.
• Drizzle olive oil over the top.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 45-60 minutes or until a knife can easily pierce through the potato. Gently move the potatoes to the baking pan.
• Bake for another 15-20 minutes, without the foil or until most of the moisture has evaporated from the tomato sauce. Stir occasionally.
• Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.
• OPTIONAL: Garnish with grated pecorino romano cheese or parmesan cheese.

CREAMY MASHED POTATO

Steps:

• Place in a large pot with 1 tbsp salt. Add water so it's 10cm / 4" above potatoes.
• Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat so it's simmering rapidly. Cook 15 minutes or until potatoes are very soft (jab with fork to test, they should fall apart).
• Drain well, return into pot. Leave for 1 minute, shaking pot every now and then, to encourage evaporation of water.
• Add Flavourings then mash well, using milk to make it looser if desired.
• DO NOT use: a beater, stick blender, food processor or blender. You can pulse with a stand mixer or handheld mixer but be cautious, stop as soon as it's creamy (potatoes will quickly go from perfect to gluey using appliances).
• Transfer to serving bowl, make pretty swirls across the top and drizzle over butter. Sprinkle with chives then serve!

THE BEST MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Generously salt the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Then lower the heat to medium and gently simmer until the potatoes are completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat and let any residual water steam off, about 2 minutes. Mash the potatoes well with a potato masher. Fold in the butter with a spatula until melted, and then fold in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.

ROAST TOMATO MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a food processor puree the oven-dried tomatoes to a nearly smooth consistency. Add the tomato puree to the warm mashed potatoes and over low heat, stir with a wooden spoon until the tomatoes are completely incorporated and the mixture is piping hot. Serve.
• Place the potatoes in a 2-quart saucepan with 1 teaspoon of the salt and cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, covered, until completely tender, about 30 minutes. Test the potatoes by piercing them with a paring knife -- there should be no resistance. Place in a colander and allow to drain well for several minutes. Combine the butter, heavy cream and milk in another saucepan and heat gently until the butter has melted. Keep warm. Working with the saucepan used to cook the potatoes, pass the potatoes through a food mill or a potato ricer. If you have any difficulty, add a little of the hot milk and butter to the potatoes. To serve, place the potatoes over a low fame and begin adding the warm milk mixture. Whip the potatoes with a wooden spoon or spatula while heating. When all the liquid is absorbed, season with the remaining salt and white pepper. Serve piping hot. Mashed potatoes are best served immediately, but if you are unable to do so, or need them for another recipe, keep the potatoes hot for up to 1 hour by placing them in the top of a double boiler, covered, and held over barely simmering water.
• Place the tomatoes cut side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the salt and let sit for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Roast the tomatoes for 5 to 6 hours. The tomatoes are done when they are dried but still slightly plump, they should definitely not be leathery, nor as dry as commercial sun-dried tomatoes. Allow the tomatoes to cool to room temperature, then transfer them to a jar or bowl. Stir in the olive oil, herbs, and garlic, cover tightly and refrigerate. The tomatoes will improve if marinated 2 to 3 days before using. They will keep for up to 2 weeks stored in the refrigerator.

MASHED POTATOES WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place sun-dried tomatoes in small bowl. Pour enough hot water over to cover tomatoes; let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain. Return tomatoes to bowl; stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan and oil.
• Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Return potatoes to pot. Stir over medium heat until excess moisture evaporates, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add milk, half and half, 2 tablespoons butter, salt, nutmeg and pepper to potatoes. Mash until smooth.
• Butter 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Spread half of mashed potatoes in prepared dish. Sprinkle sun-dried tomato mixture over. Spread remaining mashed potatoes over. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Dot with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake potatoes uncovered until heated through and top is golden brown, about 35 minutes (or up to 45 minutes if refrigerated).

ANNIE'S POTATO & TOMATO BAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170/gas 5. Thinly slice the potatoes either by hand or in the food processor (no need to peel them). Put in a pan with water to cover, bring to the boil, simmer for 3 mins, then drain well. Slice the tomatoes.
• Brush oil over the base and sides of a 1.5 litre ovenproof dish. Layer up half the potatoes, seasoning and drizzling with oil as you go, then cover with half the sliced tomatoes. Repeat the layers, finishing with tomatoes.
• Bake for 45-55 mins, until the top is lightly browned. Serve warm or at room temperature. Can be reheated.

CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and boil for about 15 mins or until tender. Transfer to a colander and drain well, then return to the pan and set over a very low heat for 2 mins to dry completely.
• Heat the milk and butter in a small pan, then pour over the potatoes. Remove from the heat, then mash potatoes using an electric hand whisk or potato masher. Tip in the créme fraîche and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.

BEST EVER CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Tip the potatoes into a large pan, cover with cold water and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Set the pan over a high heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are very tender - they should be able to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain well, then return to the pan and leave to steam-dry for 5 mins.
• Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl for a lump-free mash (you may need to do this in batches). Alternatively, mash with a potato masher until smooth, then press through a sieve using the back of a spoon to get rid of any remaining lumps.
• Tip the 50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, the milk and some seasoning into the bowl with the hot mash. Beat everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a splash more milk to loosen, if needed. Top with the remaining 1 tbsp butter and leave it to melt for a few seconds before serving.
