Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs Russet potatoes
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 0.5 cup Asiago cheese, freshly grated
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chives, finely chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 2 inches each.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until warm (do not boil). Stir in the minced garlic and let it steep for 5 minutes to infuse the cream with flavor. Remove from heat.
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit on low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess water.
Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth and lump-free.
Add the unsalted butter to the mashed potatoes and stir until fully melted and incorporated.
Slowly stir in the warm heavy cream mixture, incorporating it gradually to achieve a creamy consistency.
Fold in the grated Parmesan and Asiago cheeses, stirring until melted and evenly distributed.
Season the whipped potatoes with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and the ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Transfer the whipped potatoes to a serving dish and optionally garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of color.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the luxurious flavors of the Parmesan Asiago whipped potatoes.
