Montrachet Mashed Potatoes
Creamy, tart, silky potatoes to mound with stews and braised dishes. Comfort food like no other.
Ingredients
3 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
4 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
Montrachet-style goat cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup white burgundy wine or other chardonnay
1/3 cup light cream
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water and bring them to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer the potatoes, uncovered, until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes very well and puree them while still piping hot by passing them through a ricer. Mix in the butter and goat cheese until smooth. Thin the potatoes by beating in the wine and half and half. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve at once.
