Herb whipped potatoes are a delightful and creamy side dish that combines the smooth texture of whipped potatoes with the fresh flavors of herbs and garlic. This recipe is perfect for any occasion, offering a comforting yet slightly sophisticated twist on traditional mashed potatoes.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and cube the potatoes. Ensure the pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic cloves. In a small pan, melt a small amount of the butter over low heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well in a colander. Return the drained potatoes to the pot or a large mixing bowl.
- Add the stick of butter to the hot potatoes and allow it to melt. Begin mashing the potatoes using a potato masher or electric mixer.
- Stir in the ricotta cheese, light sour cream, sautéed garlic, and salt. Continue mashing or whipping until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh parsley. Be sure to mix evenly throughout the potatoes.
- Taste the potatoes and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or a bit of pepper if desired.
- Transfer the herb whipped potatoes to a serving bowl, garnish with a sprinkle of additional fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds for the creamiest texture.
- Ensure the potatoes are cooked until very tender to make whipping them easier.
- Use a hand mixer or potato masher to achieve the desired whipped consistency.
- Adjust the amount of salt and butter to taste.
- For extra flavor, consider adding other fresh herbs like chives or thyme.
- Serve the potatoes immediately or keep them warm in an oven set to low heat.
Herb whipped potatoes are a versatile and crowd-pleasing side dish that adds a touch of elegance to any meal. The combination of creamy potatoes, fresh herbs, and tangy dairy creates a flavor profile that is both satisfying and memorable.
