Roast on a preheated baking sheet at 450 degrees F until browned and tender, 40 to 45 minutes.

CHEESY BROCCOLI-POTATO MASH

Steps:

• Bring an inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add potatoes, cover and steam for 10 minutes. Place broccoli on top, cover and steam until the potatoes and broccoli are tender, 6 to 8 minutes more.
• Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl and coarsely mash with a potato masher. Add the potatoes, cheese, milk, salt and pepper and continue mashing to desired consistency. Serve immediately.

BROWN BUTTER AND SCALLION MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with cold water by 2 inches in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot and add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Drain potatoes in a colander, then return to pot and cook over moderate heat, shaking pot occasionally, until dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Mash hot potatoes with masher or force through food mill into another pot, then cover to keep warm.
• Bring milk with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt just to a boil in a 1-quart saucepan, then remove from heat and stir into potatoes until combined. Stir in sour cream, then cover and keep warm.
• Cook butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, stirring frequently and scraping up brown bits, until foam subsides and butter is golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add scallions and pepper and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Fold butter mixture into mashed potatoes and season with salt.

CRISPY CHIPOTLE SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F. Scrub potatoes and place them in a large pot. Fill the pot with water, cover and bring to a boil. Boil for about 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the pot of water and place on the baking sheet.
• Making sure the baking sheet is on a flat and sturdy surface, use a flat bottomed glass to gently press down on each potato until it breaks apart.
• In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, and sea salt until combined. Using a brush, spread the oil mixture over the potatoes. You can use your fingers, but allow the potatoes to cool to a manageable temperature.
• Place the potatoes in the oven for 30-40 minutes and bake until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Drizzle with chipotle lime aioli and fresh herbs and serve immediately. These potatoes are best served fresh.

SMASHED YUKON GOLD POTATOES

RACHAEL RAY'S SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil potatoes until tender, 15 minutes. While the water boils and when the potatoes are cooking, chop or snip the chives or scallions.
• When the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the hot pot to let them dry out a bit.
• Mash potatoes with half-and-half or milk using a potato masher.
• Add in the cream cheese and smash until the cheese melts into the potatoes.
• Add chives or scallions.
• Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.

YUKON GOLD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cut potatoes into a ½-inch dice. To prevent potatoes from wobbling as you dice, cut a flat base for the potato to rest on as you make your slices. (Note: Potatoes can be peeled and diced 1 day in advance. Store completely submerged in cold water in the refrigerator, changing the water every few hours to prevent browning.) Place potatoes in a pot filled with cold salted water (as "salty as the sea"). Bring to a boil over high heat, 6-8 minutes. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender but not falling apart, 15-20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander, then add back to the pot. Turn heat to low and let the potatoes release additional moisture, 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat.Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Work all the potatoes through the ricer and back into the pot.
• With the pot over low heat, gently fold in butter and sour cream, mixing just enough to melt and incorporate; overmixing will result in a gluey texture. Add the milk a splash at a time, gently mixing to incorporate; repeat until you reach your desired consistency. (You may have milk left over.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl; garnish with extra butter and/or freshly chopped chives, optional. Serve immediately.
