Herb whipped potatoes

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:

6 cup potatoes
900g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
3.80g
3 garlic cloves
9g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 stick butter
110g
1 cup ricotta cheese
120g
1/4 cup light sour cream
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and cube the potatoes. Ensure the pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Garlic:
- 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.
4. Drain and Mash Potatoes:
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well in a colander. Return the drained potatoes to the pot or a large mixing bowl.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- 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.
6. Add Fresh Parsley:
- Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh parsley. Be sure to mix evenly throughout the potatoes.
7. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the potatoes and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or a bit of pepper if desired.
8. Serve:
- 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.
