Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Truffle oil
- 0.5 cups Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized 1-inch chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 2-3 minutes over low heat to remove any excess moisture.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer for a smooth texture.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the unsalted butter and heavy cream over low heat until warmed through. Do not let it boil.
Gradually add the warmed butter and cream mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring thoroughly to combine.
Stir in the truffle oil, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning with more salt, if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh chives for color and added flavor.
Serve immediately and savor the luxurious flavor of truffle-infused mashed potatoes.
