Mashed White Recipes

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with water. Generously season the water with salt. Add the bay leaves and place over high heat. Cover, bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender enough to smash with a fork, 25 to 35 minutes. Drain the potatoes and discard the bay leaves. Return the potatoes to the pot and add the heavy cream, sour cream and 4 tablespoons of the butter. Smash with a potato masher until smooth. Add the thyme, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Place the sweet potato puree in a pot over medium-high heat. Cover and heat until warmed through, about 4 minutes.
• When ready to serve, mound a third of the white potatoes in the center of a serving bowl. Next, mound a third of the sweet potatoes on top of the white potatoes. Repeat this process, alternating between the vegetables, to make white and orange circles. Swirl together to create a marbled effect showing both colors.
• In a small pot, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Combine the butter and parsley. Pour over the potatoes and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook garlic, stirring often, until golden, about 1 minute.
• Add beans, sage, and 1 1/4 cups water. Cook, stirring often, until beans are hot and liquid thickens, about 4 minutes.
• Mash beans, leaving some whole. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain well in a colander.
• Add the butter, shallot and milk to the same pot the potatoes were cooked in and heat until the butter is melted and hot; season well with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Add the potatoes to the hot milk and butter mixture. Add the sour cream. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until semi-smooth. Add the cheese and stir until the cheese is incorporated. Adjust the seasoning as necessary.

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes; drain.
• In a small saucepan heat butter and milk over low heat until butter is melted. Using a potato masher or electric beater, slowly blend milk mixture into potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Place white and sweet potatoes in separate bowls.
• Add half each of the cream cheese and sour cream to the potatoes in each bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Mash with potato masher or fork until creamy.
• Stir half of the parmesan into the bowl of white potato mix.
• Mix half of the cheddar cheese into the bowl of sweet potatoes.
• Alternately layer half each of the white potato mixture and sweet potato mixture in a 2 qt clear glass casserole dish.
• Repeat layers.
• Bake 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle with remaining cheeses and continue baking 5 minutes or until cheeses are melted.

Steps:

• Wash beans. Put in large pot with water.
• Peel garlic and chop cloves in half. Peel onion and chop in half. Add both to pot.
• Bring beans to boil, then simmer, covered, until well cooked, at least 90 minutes.
