Mashed Potatoes With Leeks And Sour Cream Food

SOUR CREAM MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water over high. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Mash until potatoes are fluffy and almost smooth.
• In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter over medium-low until butter is melted and mixture is warm. Pour into potatoes and stir to combine. Stir in sour cream and season with salt and pepper.

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.

MASHED POTATOES WITH LEEKS

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes are very tender but not falling apart, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, thyme and rosemary. Cook, stirring, until the leeks soften, 12 to 15 minutes; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Drain the potatoes and return to the pot over low heat; cook until any excess water evaporates, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1½ sticks butter, reserving 1 tablespoon for topping, and mash with a potato masher until smooth and the butter has melted. Gradually mash in ½ cup milk and ½ teaspoon salt until creamy, adding up to ¼ cup more milk as needed. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the cooked leeks.
• Transfer the potatoes to a bowl; top with the remaining butter before serving.

• 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.
