Puree De Pommes De Terre Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the potatoes and coarse salt in a large saucepan, and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender all the way through when tested with a knife. Drain and let stand until just cool enough to handle. Peel the potatoes and pass them through a mill; this will yield about 2 cups of potatoes.
• In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the milk and 2 tablespoons of the butter until the butter has melted. Raise the heat to medium-low and stir in the potatoes, 1/4 cup of the truffle juice and 3 tablespoons of the remaining butter. Stir with a whisk until smooth.
• Add the remaining 1/4 cup truffle juice, the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and the chopped truffles. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and keep stirring until smooth. To keep warm for up to 30 minutes, dot with a little butter to keep a skin from forming, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface, and keep the pan in a larger pan of slowly simmering water until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2-inch cubes.
• Place the potatoes and onions in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Add salt. Bring to a boil and simmer 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Do not overcook them.
• Meanwhile, heat the milk until hot.
• Drain the potatoes and onions and put them through a food mill or potato ricer. Return them to the saucepan. Using a wooden spatula, add the butter and blend well. Mix in milk. Keep warm until ready to serve.
