Mashed Brown 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.

CREAMY GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes, making sure all are relatively the same size. Place in a large saucepan, add the salt, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to maintain a rolling boil. Cook until potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork.
• Heat the half-and-half and the garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain off the water. Mash and add the garlic-cream mixture and Parmesan; stir to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes so that mixture thickens and then serve.

CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut into uniform 1/2-inch pieces. Place into a 4-quart saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1-inch. Cover, set over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove the lid, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the potatoes can easily be crushed with a pair of tongs, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• Put the cream, butter, salt and pepper into the now empty 4-quart saucepan and place back over the heat until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat and set a food mill fitted with the smallest die, on top of the pot. Add 1 cup of potatoes at a time to the mill. Once all of the potatoes have passed through the mill, stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Serve immediately.

MASHED BROWN POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat up a small fry pan (I use cast iron) over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix well the potatoes, 1/2 teaspoons of flour, herbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper together with a fork.
• Gather up the potato mixture with your hands and form into a patty and flatten slighty.
• Holding the patty in the palm of your hand, sprinkle a bit of flour on the patty. (I use a shaker can) Gently pat the flour onto the patty, flip over and do the same with the other side.
• Add olive oil or butter (I sometimes use a bit of both) to the heated pan. When the oil is hot, gently place the patty into the pan. IMPORTANT: DO NOT MOVE THE PATTY AROUND. Let cook about 3-5 minutes.
• Using a spatula and a fork, gently flip the patty over to cook on the other side. The potato should be nicely browned. Again, DO NOT move it around in the pan. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until browned and heated through.
• Transfer to plate and cover with fried onions, if using.
• Enjoy!
• For Vegan omit butter.

SKILLET-BROWNED POTATOES

Steps:

• Slice potatoes into chunks or into round slices, I have cooked them both ways and both are good. It is just personal preference for shape.
• Boil for 10 minutes in salted water, drain in a collander. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat melt butter and oil in skillet.
• When butter is melted add onions. When translucent, add potatoes and seasonings. Cover and cook on one side for 5-7 minute. Flip and cook on other side for 5-7 more minute.
• Potatoes should be browned and crispy looking, but also a little soft. If butter ran dry during cooking add 2 more TB. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with cold water by 2 inches in a 5-to 6-quart heavy stock pot and add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 10-15 minutes.

• Bring milk with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt just to a boil in a 1-quart saucepan, then remove from heat and stir into potatoes until combined.
