Avocado Mashed Potatoes Food

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.

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into quarters.
• Drop them in a quart of salted, boiling water and let cook for 10-15 minutes or until easily pierced by a fork.
• Cut the avocado into four parts lengthwise and discard the rind and pit.
• When the potatoes are done, drain them and immediately add the butter, avocado, salt and pepper to ensure the potatoes are still hot for best mixing.
• Mash the ingredients together so that the avocado is mixed evenly throughout - I prefer a hand-held mixer with a blender or whisk attachment.

SAVORY AVOCADO WASABI MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, cut them into quarters then cook in boiling, salted water until they are fork tender.
• While the potatoes boil, cook the bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces.
• Drain the potatoes and then return them to the cooking pan. Turn the heat to low and allow the potatoes to sit in the pan until all of the visible moisture has evaporated (about 2 minutes), then remove them from the heat.
• Melt the butter in a small saute pan. Thinly slice the shallot and add it to the melted butter. Cook the shallot for 5 minutes over moderate heat until it is softened and just beginning to turn light golden in color, then remove from the heat.
• Add the half and half to the potatoes and mash them well with a hand masher. Remove the pit and scrape the avocado from the skin and add it directly to the potatoes, then mash again until smooth. Stir in the butter and shallots and cooked, crumbled bacon. Stir in the wasabi paste and season with salt and pepper.
• Scoop the potatoes into a serving bowl and scatter the thinly sliced green onions over the top. Sprinkle the black sesame seeds over the top and serve.
