Mashed Potatoes And Leeks Food

LEEK AND GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In 3-quart saucepan, place potatoes, leek, garlic, salt and broth. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer covered 20 to 25 minutes or until tender (do not drain). Mash potato mixture with potato masher or electric mixer on low speed.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat 1/4 cup whipping cream and the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Add cream mixture to potato mixture; continue mashing until potatoes are light and fluffy. Add additional heated whipping cream for desired consistency. Stir in chives.

SOUR CREAM AND LEEK MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, add a generous 1/2 tsp. salt, and lower the heat to a steady simmer. Cover the pot partially and cook until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté, stirring often, until tender but not browned, about 6 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and return to the pan. Steam-dry over low heat, shaking the pan until the potatoes leave a light film on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
• Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Stir in the leeks, sour cream, and milk, adding more milk as needed to reach your desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve.

GARLIC AND LEEK MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Clean and chop your potatoes into 1-inch chunks. If you like your mashed potatoes skinless, you can peel your potatoes beforehand but I find yellow flesh potatoes have a pretty thin skin, so I don't bother to do that. Place the potatoes and the garlic cloves in a large stockpot and fill with water, so it covers the potatoes by 1-inch. Add 3 teaspoons of salt to the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat to let the water simmer, and cook potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes, or until a fork pierces the potatoes easily.
• While the potatoes cook, clean the leek by slicing it lengthwise and fanning them out under running water to remove the dirt and sand. Chop the white part and 1-inch of the green part of the leek. Add them to a pan with the butter and turn the heat to medium high. Cook the leeks until they soften and start to a look a little translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Once the potatoes are done, drain them in a colander, then place them back into the hot pan they cooked in.
• Add the leeks (with all the melted butter), sour cream, heavy cream along with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher and add more cream, salt and pepper to your own taste.
• Scoop into a large serving bowl, drizzle with the melted butter and garnish with chopped parsley.

• mash potatoes with reserved water, 2 remaining Tbs of oil.
• fold in sauteed veggies.
• add salt and pepper to taste.

SAUTéED LEEK MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, if desired, and cut into 2-inch chunks. Place the potatoes and salt in a large heavy saucepan. Add cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook until potatoes are very tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring, until soft and beginning to brown, 4 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher, an electric hand-held mixer or by working through a ricer.
• Stir the leeks, buttermilk and pepper into the mashed potatoes.

MASHED POTATOES WITH PANCETTA AND LEEKS

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sauté pancetta in large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 10 minutes. Transfer pancetta to small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil to same skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add leeks and thyme; sauté until leeks are tender, about 5 minutes. Add carrot; sauté 4 minutes. Add zucchini; sauté until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 1 minute longer.
• Drain potatoes. Peel and return to same pot. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and mash to chunky purée. Stir in pancetta and vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat before serving.)

LEEK MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Put them into a large pot of cold water. Add a big pinch of salt and put the pot over high heat. When it comes to a boil, cook until the potatoes are just cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, slice the leeks into small pieces and thoroughly wash to remove any dirt. Put a medium skillet over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons butter. When the butter is melted, add the leeks and season with salt and pepper. Cook the leeks until they are very soft, being careful not to let them color or burn, about 20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander. Then put the potatoes back into the pot and let the potatoes dry out a bit while you finish the leeks.
• In a small pot over low heat, add the milk, the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, garlic and thyme and warm it up. Strain the garlic and thyme from the warm milk and stir the milk into the potatoes using a wooden spoon. Mash with a potato masher, breaking up the big lumps. Stir in the melted leeks, taste and season with salt and pepper. Reserve 2 cups for another use if desired, such as the Round 2 Recipe Thanksgiving Pie. Cover the rest and keep warm until ready to serve.

MASHED POTATOES WITH LEEKS AND GARLIC

Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet cook the leeks and 4 tablespoons of the butter, covered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are very tender, and keep them warm. In a kettle combine the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, the garlic, and enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch, bring the water to a boil, and simmer the potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain the potatoes and garlic in a large colander, return the potatoes to the kettle, reserving the garlic, and cook them over moderate heat, shaking the kettle, for 30 seconds to let any excess liquid evaporate. Peel the reserved garlic, force the garlic and the potatoes through a ricer or the medium disk of a food mill into a bowl, and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the leeks, the milk, and the salt and pepper to taste.
