Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
- 1 Shallot
- 1 Garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Vegetable stock
- 0.5 ounce Black truffle
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.
Place the potato chunks in a pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, clean and thinly slice the cremini mushrooms.
Finely chop the shallot and garlic.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the shallot and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden, about 8 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable stock and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly reduced.
Transfer the mushrooms and stock mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create the mushroom purée. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them thoroughly until smooth.
Stir in the butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and mix well until creamy.
To serve, scoop the mashed potatoes onto each plate and gently create a well in the center.
Spoon the mushroom purée into the well of the potatoes.
Garnish with freshly shaved truffles on top and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refined, earthy dish.
