Garlic Mashed Potatoes Jamie Oliver Food

BAKED POTATO, CELERIAC & GARLIC MASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190ºC/gas 5.
• Wash the potatoes, then rub with sea salt. Prick the skins with a fork and place on one side of a baking tray, then bake in the hot oven for 30 minutes.
• Cut the celeriac into large chunks and separate the garlic bulb into cloves, then place onto a large piece of baking parchment. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, drizzle over 2 tablespoons of olive oil, toss to coat, then wrap up into a loose parcel.
• Once the potatoes have had 30 minutes in the oven, add the celeriac parcel to the tray and bake for a further 20 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and celeriac are soft and cooked through.
• Scoop the potato flesh from the skins, squeeze out the garlic flesh and mash together with the celeriac. Pick in the thyme leaves and add the rest of the oil and mash again. Taste, season and serve.

BROKEN POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cook the potatoes in salted boiling water for about 15 minutes, or until your knife slides easily through them. Drain and leave for 5 minutes.
• Drizzle a roasting tray with a little olive oil and any handy pork fat. Season, then throw in the potatoes, and push down on each of them to break them up slightly. Then pound up the rosemary in a pestle and mortar to bruise and release its flavors. Add 4 good lugs of olive oil, stir around, and drizzle over the potatoes. Roast for 40 to 50 minutes at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C/gas 7) until crisp and golden.

COMFORTING MASH

Steps:

• This recipe works great as a stand-alone dish, but also as a component in Jamie's Christmas Party from Together - see the full collection of menus here.
• ON THE DAY Peel the potatoes and celeriac, chop into even-sized chunks and place in a large pan of salted water, ready to cook.
• TO SERVE Bring the water to the boil and cook for 15 minutes, or until soft. Drain and leave to steam dry for 2 minutes, then return to the pan and mash well. Stir in the butter and milk, then season to perfection, tasting and tweaking. Once made, you can put the mash in a heatproof bowl, cover with tin foil and place over a pan of gently simmering water to keep warm, until needed.

SIMPLE GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes and garlic into a large saucepan full of cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium, and boil for about 10-12 minutes. Check potatoes for doneness by poking a few wedges with a fork or skewer--if still firm, cook another minute or two and check again. Repeat until tender. Drain, taking care not to lose garlic cloves. Return potatoes to warm pot.
• Mash potatoes. Do not overwork, or potatoes will be tough (it's okay if there's a few lumps--it just means these are real potatoes, not from a box). Make sure to smash up the garlic, or pull out the cloves and squeeze in a garlic press.
• Add some butter, to taste (I usually use 2-3 T), and salt and pepper, also to taste. Mix until butter has melted.
• Add a little hot milk and beat it into the potatoes. Continue until potatoes are desired creaminess (the amount I use varies, but I usually use between 1/4 and 1/2 cup, give or take a bit).
• Cover pot with foil to keep warm until ready to serve. Potatoes will stay hot for 10-15 minutes this way.
• Serve with a pat of butter in an indentation on top.

• Blend in sour cream, chives, and butter.
• Heat through and serve.

JAMIE OLIVER'S MASHED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• *NOTE: swedes are known in US as rutabagas. I've also used yams/sweet potatoes, turnips and fingerlings in this recipe. ~fyi~.
• Feel free to use any single vegetable or a mixture of your favorites. Cookgirl says that a mixture of root vegetables is the way to go!
• Peel the root vegetables then chop up into golf-ball sized pieces, place in salted boiling water and cook until very tender.
• Drain in a colander.
• Place the vegetables back in the pan and mash with a potato masher.
• You can mash them as smooth or as chunky as you like. Season with salt and pepper, then enrich the flavor with extra virgin oil or butter, or both, to taste. (I prefer using both olive oil and butter.).
• Jamie continues to say: once cooked, the mashed vegetables can be kept warm in a bowl covered with kitchen foil over simmering water. This is handy when cooking for a dinner party -- (especially when timing is of utmost importance.).
