Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 8 ounces Cooked lobster meat
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic (optional, minced)
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, about 2 inches wide.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes cook, gently chop the cooked lobster meat into bite-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the lobster meat and cook gently for 3-5 minutes, ensuring the lobster is warm but not overcooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.
In a small saucepan, warm the whole milk and heavy cream over low heat until heated through but not boiling.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a ricer for a smoother texture.
Gradually add the warm milk and cream mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring until fully incorporated and creamy.
Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and season the potatoes with salt and black pepper. If desired, add minced garlic for additional flavor.
Gently fold the butter-poached lobster meat into the mashed potatoes, being careful not to break up the lobster pieces.
Transfer the lobster mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this indulgent treat!
