This is a rather unique spin on mashed potatoes. The white chocolate comes through as a suggestion of flavor as you're eating them. While mashing them the scent is quite prominent. While tasty and interesting, we typically prefer a more savory mashed potato recipe than this.
Ingredients
- 5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
- 1 T salt
- 1 c whipping cream
- 1/4 c butter
- 2 oz white chocolate
- 1 T fresh, finely chopped rosemary
- 1 t sea salt
- 1/4 t fresh ground black pepper
- 2-3 T butter (optional)
Preparation
Place the potatoes in a 6-qt Dutch oven. Add water to cover and add 1 Tbsp salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 18-20 minutes or until tender. Drain completely; return to the pot. Cover to keep warm.
In a small saucepan stir together the cream, butter, and chocolate over low heat until butter and chocolate just begin to melt. Add to the hot potatoes. Mash with a potato masher until desired consistency. Stir in the rosemary, sea salt and pepper.[1] Top with additional butter and season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
- ↑ In our experience, only the suggested amount of salt and pepper was necessary. No additional amounts were necessary for a nice balance of flavor.
