Death by Butter Potatoes
Source of Recipe
John Elkay, Ten Prime Steak & Sushi
List of Ingredients
3 1/2 pounds red bliss potatoes
1 head garlic, cleaned
12 ounces unsalted butter
8 ounces heavy cream
3 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons white pepper
12 tablespoons Asiago cheese, divided
3 scallions, sliced
8 ounces soft, salted butter Recipe
Boil potatoes and garlic in cold water for 30 minutes or until fork tender. Strain.
While potatoes are cooking, combine unsalted butter and cream in a saucepan over medium heat until melted.
Add melted butter, cream, salt and pepper to strained potatoes. Mash but keep lumpy. Elkhay uses an old-fashioned S-shape potato masher to achieve the correct consistency. You don't want them pureed.
Divide into four oven-safe containers and sprinkle 3 tablespoons asiago cheese on top of each potato serving. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes until golden brown.
Once completed, add little dollops of salted butter on top of each and scallions for garnish.
Yield: 4 servings
