Natalies Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover amply with cold water. Bring the water up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water and allow the potatoes to cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Pour the water and potatoes into a colander placed in the sink to drain off all of the water. Return the same pot to the heat and add the milk. Bring the milk to a simmer and gingerly add the potatoes back into the pot. Season with salt. Whisk in the stick of butter. Whisk until all of the ingredients meld together. Taste for seasoning. Remove from the heat.
• Use the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to "grease" the sides and bottom of the baking dish. Add in the breadcrumbs and roll them around inside the dish so it creates a butter/breadcrumb topping.
• Using a whisk (or an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), whip the heavy cream until fairly firm. Season with salt.
• With a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream and about 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese into the mashed potatoes. Taste for seasoning. Transfer the potatoes to a baking dish and top with remaining Parmesan. Place in the center of the oven and bake, undisturbed, for 15 to 20 minutes. The top should be light brown from the cheese and the potatoes hot. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
• Spread mashed potatoes in the prepared baking dish.
• Whip heavy cream in a bowl until stiff; fold in Swiss cheese and add salt and pepper to taste. Spread over the potatoes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is delicately brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
• Place potatoes into a pot, cover with fresh, cold water by 2 inches, and add 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Set heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, testing by poking potatoes with a knife. The time will depend on the size of your potatoes but could be between 15 and 20 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and let drain in a colander for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer into a large bowl and mash thoroughly with a potato masher until no lumps remain. Add butter, kosher salt, and Gruyere cheese. Mix and mash until everything has been incorporated.
• Add cayenne, 3/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and buttermilk, and mash until well combined. Taste and adjust for salt.
• Whisk cream in a metal bowl until thick and fairly stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour 1/2 of the whipped cream onto the potatoes and cut it in with the side of a spatula to lighten the mixture. Repeat with remaining whipped cream but do it carefully to preserve the maximum amount of volume, cutting in until just barely mixed.
• Transfer into a well-buttered casserole dish and distribute gently with a fork. Smooth the top with a spoon if desired. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano on top and dust lightly with cayenne.
• Place the baking dish on a pan and bake in the center of the preheated oven until beautifully browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with green onions before serving.
