Perfect for family dinners, holiday feasts, or a comfort-filled meal, this recipe promises to deliver a creamy, savory delight that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
Instructions:
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
- Return the drained potatoes to the pot or place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. For an extra smooth texture, you can use a potato ricer.
- Add the butter to the hot, mashed potatoes and stir until fully melted and incorporated.
- Fold in the light sour cream and grated parmesan cheese until well combined. The mixture should be creamy and smooth.
- Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can garnish with additional grated parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or chives (optional).
- Serve the creamy parmesan potato mash hot as a delicious side dish to your favorite main courses.
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the creamiest mash.
- Boil the potatoes with their skins on to prevent them from absorbing too much water, then peel them after cooking for a fluffier texture.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature or slightly melted before adding it to the potatoes to incorporate more smoothly.
- Warm the sour cream slightly before mixing it in to avoid cooling down the mash.
- For a smoother consistency, use a potato ricer or food mill instead of a masher.
- Season the mash with salt and pepper to taste, and consider adding a pinch of garlic powder for an extra burst of flavor.
- Top with a sprinkle of extra parmesan or fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added color and freshness.
This Creamy Parmesan Potato Mash is not only easy to prepare but also a sure way to impress your guests with its rich, savory flavor. The combination of butter, sour cream, and parmesan cheese guarantees a smooth, indulgent texture that pairs beautifully with a variety of main courses.
