Parmesan mash is a delightful twist on traditional mashed potatoes, combining the creamy texture with the rich, savory flavor of Parmesan cheese. This recipe is perfect for elevating a simple side dish to something special and is sure to be a hit at any meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and chop them into evenly-sized chunks, which helps them cook at the same rate.
- Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer.
- Cook until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully drain them in a colander.
- Return the drained potatoes to the pot or a large mixing bowl.
- Add the butter to the potatoes and start mashing using a potato masher or a ricer until the potatoes are smooth and no lumps remain.
- Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to mash, ensuring the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
- Adjust the amount of milk to your desired consistency.
- Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully incorporated and melted into the mash, giving a rich and cheesy flavor.
- Taste the mashed potatoes and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to preference.
- Serve the Parmesan mash hot as a delicious side dish to complement your main course.
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes, such as Russet or Yukon Gold, for a fluffier and creamier mash.
- Ensure the potatoes are cut into evenly-sized pieces for uniform cooking.
- Warm the milk before adding it to the potatoes to keep the mash smooth and creamy.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a clove of garlic to the boiling water.
- Use a potato masher or a ricer for the best texture; avoid using a blender as it can make the potatoes gluey.
Parmesan mash is an easy yet elegant side dish that pairs wonderfully with a variety of main courses. The combination of buttery, creamy mashed potatoes with the distinct flavor of Parmesan cheese is sure to impress. With these simple tips and steps, you'll be able to create a perfectly smooth and flavorful mash every time.
