Crumb Topped Creamy Mashed Potatoes Food

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!

CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces that are generally the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. (When they're cooked through a fork should easily slide into the potatoes with no resistance, and the potatoes should almost, but not totally, fall apart.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape before adding in all the other ingredients.
• Turn off the heat and add the butter, cream cheese and about 1/2 cup of half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Next, add about 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well, and then taste and add more half-and-half, seasoning salt and pepper if needed.
• Transfer the potatoes to a medium-sized baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place in the oven until the butter is melted and the potatoes are warmed through.

CREAMY MASHED POTATOES WITH A CRUNCHY PARMESAN CRUST

Steps:

• 1. Preheat one Frigidaire Gallery® Double Wall Oven to 425°F. Coat a 3-quart shallow baking dish with 1 teaspoon oil. 2. In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water by 2 inches. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil on a Frigidaire Gallery® Induction Cooktop over high heat. Cover partially and boil until very tender, about 20 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the panko, ½ cup Parmesan, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. 4. Drain the potatoes and return to the saucepan. Set over low heat and let stand until dry, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Mash in the milk and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Fold in the remaining ½ cup Parmesan and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. 5. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the mashed potatoes. Bake until golden brown and crunchy on top, about 20 minutes. Serve hot.

BAKED MASHED POTATOES WITH PARMESAN CHEESE AND BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
• Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until they are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; return the potatoes to the same pot and mash well. Mix in the milk and melted butter. Mix in the mozzarella and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish. Stir the bread crumbs and remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the mashed potatoes. Recipe can be prepared up to this point 6 hours ahead of time; cover and chill.
• Bake, uncovered, until the topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

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.
