Mashed Potatoes With Garlic And Shallots Food

GARLIC MASHED POTATOES WITH CRISPY FRIED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and fill with water to cover by 1 inch. Salt the water until it tastes salty. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain in a colander, shaking off the excess water. Return the potatoes to the pot.
• Combine the clarified butter and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Gently roast until the garlic is soft and lightly golden, taking care not to let the cloves brown too much, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the milk, bring to a simmer over medium heat and then remove the pan from the heat. With a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic cloves to the drained potatoes.
• Break down the potatoes and roasted garlic slightly using a potato masher. Pour in the hot milk-butter mixture and mash until combined and smooth. Season to taste.
• Heat 1 inch of oil to 350 degrees F in a high-sided pan.
• In a small bowl, soak the sliced shallots in the buttermilk. Place the rice flour in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Using tongs, transfer the shallots from the buttermilk to the rice flour and toss to coat. Fry the shallots in batches until just golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon or spider, remove to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
• To serve, mound the mashed potatoes in a serving bowl and sprinkle with the fried shallots.

MASHED POTATOES WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Generously butter a 4-quart baking dish. Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the shallots until they are slightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Drain the potatoes in a large colander. Place them back in 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 the other ingredients. Turn off the heat and add 1 1/2 sticks butter, the cream cheese, heavy cream, seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Mash to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread three-quarters of the shallots in the bottom of the baking dish. Scoop the mashed potatoes on top and spread them over the shallots. Sprinkle the remaining shallots on top of the potatoes.
• Cut the remaining 1/2 stick butter into pieces and sprinkle over the potatoes. Bake until the butter is melted and the potatoes are warmed through, 25 to 30 minutes.
• The potatoes can be made a day ahead through the end of step 4; cover and refrigerate. Before serving, dot with butter and bake for an hour.

Wrap the shallots and the garlic tightly in a foil package and roast them in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes. Unwrap the package carefully and let the shallots and the garlic cool until they can be handled. Peel the shallots and the garlic and purée them in a food processor.
• In a kettle combine the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces, with enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches, bring the water to a boil, and salt to taste. Simmer the potatoes for 15 minutes, or until they are very tender, drain them, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking water, and force them through a ricer or a food mill fitted with the coarse disk into a bowl. Beat in the garlic purée, the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, the butter, the salt and pepper to taste, and enough of the reserved cooking water to reach the desired consistency.
