INA'S POTATO BASIL PURéE
Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water and add about a couple teaspoons of salt. Bring this to a boil over high heat.
- Fill a large bowl with water and ice.
- Lower the basil leaves into the boiling water for 15 seconds.
- With a slotted spoon remove the leaves and put them immediately into the ice water to stop the cooking and to set the beautiful green color.
- Remove the leaves from the ice water and lay on paper towels to drain. Set aside.
- Bring the water back to a boil and add the potatoes.
- Boil gently for 18 to 25 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Drain the water off the potatoes, return to the burner and turn it down to low. Cover and let the potatoes steam for a moment to dry them a bit.
- Put the cream and the Parmesan cheese together in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the cream is simmering.
- In a food processor with the steel blade, chop the basil leaves.
- Pour the hot cream mixture through the feed tube and process until smooth.
- Beat the hot potatoes with a handheld mixer or potato masher until they lightly mashed.
- Then slowly add the hot cream mixture and the salt and the pepper.
- Continue beating until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
- Take a taste of this glorious concoction and add salt and pepper to your taste.
- Serve hot with a sprig of fresh basil for garnish.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and fill a bowl with ice water. Add the basil leaves to the boiling water and cook for exactly 15 seconds. Remove the basil with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge the leaves into the ice water to set the bright green color. Drain and set aside.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them in quarters. Add the potatoes to the same pot of boiling water and return to a boil. Cook the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, until very tender. Drain well, return to the sauce- pan, and steam over low heat until any remaining water evaporates.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the half-and-half and Parmesan cheese until the cream simmers. Place the basil in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and purée. Add the hot cream mixture and process until smooth.
- With a handheld mixer with the beater attachment, beat the hot potatoes in the pot until they are broken up. Slowly add the hot basil cream, the salt, and pepper and beat until smooth. If the potatoes need to be reheated, cover and cook gently over low heat for a few minutes. Pour into a serving bowl, sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese, season to taste, and serve hot.
POTATO PURéE
This potato purée is a refined, incredibly luxurious version of good old-fashioned mashed potatoes-and that means Chef Emma Bengtsson doesn't stint when it comes to butter and milk! We recommend using a food mill or potato ricer to get extra silky-smooth results.

Steps:
- Add cubed potatoes to a medium saucepan with a big pinch of salt and enough cold water to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook until very soft and almost falling apart, about 20 minutes. When potatoes are cooked, drain well. Then place them back into the hot pot (with the heat turned off) to evaporate any residual moisture, 30 seconds.
- Run potatoes through a food mill or potato ricer into a mixing bowl. Add butter and stir well to combine; then pour in the warm milk and whisk until thoroughly combined. Add salt to taste and place back into the saucepan. Over very low heat, whisk again to release extra moisture in the potatoes.
- When potatoes are smooth and creamy, but still hold their shape when folded over, transfer to serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
POTATO BASIL PUREE
Lighter than traditional mashed potatoes due to using half-and-half instead of butter and cream. Blanched basil adds lightness and brightness. Adapted from a recipe by Caroline Russock at Serious Eats, which she adapted from _How Easy Is That?_ by Ina Garten. http://tiny.cc/zpt6g

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- On a parchment-lined sheet pan, arrange the potatoes in an even layer. Bake the potatoes until tender, about 45 minutes. Let the potatoes cool slightly until able to be handled but still hot. Peel the potatoes.
- Add one potato at a time to a ricer and rice the potatoes into a pot. Add the warm cream to the potatoes and some pieces of butter. Whisk until smooth. Continue to add most of the remaining butter, whisking piece by piece, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons to finish. Season the potatoes with salt.
- Fill a small Dutch oven with hot water to warm it up. Dump the water and transfer the potatoes to the pot. Top with the remaining butter and garnish with chives.
