TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place whole unpeeled potatoes in a saucepan of cold water. Add salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender when pierced with the tip of a small knife, about 40 minutes. Drain.
• When cool enough to handle, peel potatoes, and put through a ricer or food mill fitted with the finest blade. Beat in butter with a wooden spoon. Beat in hot milk little by little until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (If making ahead of time, keep in a heat-proof bowl, covered with aluminum foil, set over a pot of hot water. You may need to add additional hot milk to thin).
• Just before serving, whisk 1/2 teaspoon truffle oil into potatoes. After serving potatoes, make a little well in each portion and drizzle 1/4 teaspoon oil on top.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender, about 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to a low heat for 2 to 3 minutes to dry up any excess water.
• Put the cream and butter into a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Warm until the butter has melted into the cream.
• Using a masher, mash the potatoes in the saucepan. Add the garlic, cream, butter, salt and pepper and mix well using a large spoon. Stir in the truffle oil and serve.

• Mash potatoes with a potato masher or ricer until there are no lumps.
• Add half and half; blend well (the amount of liquid needed may vary, so add slowly until potatoes are fluffy and still have body).
• Add butter, cream cheese and truffle oil.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and serve topped with shaved truffles, if desired.

MASHED POTATOES WITH CHANTERELLES AND WHITE TRUFFLE OIL

Steps:

• Heat a frying pan and add the olive oil.
• Saute the mushrooms and garlic and season with salt and pepper.
• When the mushrooms are soft, which will take about 15 minutes, add this mixture to the mashed potatoes and drizzle with the truffle oil. Serve and top with parsley.

TRUFFLED MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut each potato into one-inch-thick slices. Put the slices in a casserole and add cold water to cover. Add salt to taste and bring to the boil. Cook about 30 minutes or until the potato slices are tender.
• Drain the potato slices and put them through a food mill or potato ricer.
• Put the butter in a skillet and let it melt. Continue cooking about one and one-half minutes or until the butter is lightly browned or hazelnut-colored.
• Beat the browned butter and the creme fraiche or heavy cream into the potatoes.
• Cut the truffles into thin slices. Stack the slices a few at a time and cut them into thin strips, or batons. There should be about a quarter cup. Add the truffles, salt, pepper and nutmeg to the potatoes and beat well. Serve hot.
