Mustard Mashed
Posted Tue, 11/18/08
A wonderful twist on mashed potatoes from Tyler Florence:
Grainy Mustard Mashed Potatoes
8 medium-sized Yukon gold potatoes, quartered unpeeled
2 C heavy cream
2 C whole milk
4 cloves garlic, peeled & gently smashed
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 TBS butter
1 TBS whole-grain mustard
Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
Add potatoes, cream, milk, garlic, thyme and bay leaf into a large saucepan and gently boil for fifteen minutes until potatoes are just tender and the tip of a paring knife goes through with little resistance. Strain potatoes and reserve the cream mixture but discard the bay leaf, thyme stems and the garlic. Mash the potatoes and fold in the cream mixture until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. Fold in about a tablespoon of the olive oil, the butter, and the grainy mustard. Season with salt and black pepper.
The recipe was featured on Tyler's Food Network "Ultimate Turkey Dinner" episode.
