Yukon Gold Smash Recipes

Steps:

• Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in medium saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well and return potatoes to same saucepan. Coarsely mash potatoes, adding enough chicken broth to moisten. Stir in sour cream and nutmeg. Season potatoes to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a deep skillet and add salt and pepper, to taste. Cover potatoes halfway with chicken stock, about 3 cups, add the butter and cover skillet with a lid. Cook the potatoes in the stock until almost tender, about 5 to 8 minutes, depending upon the size of the potatoes. Remove the lid and allow the stock to evaporate, about another 5 minutes. Once the stock has evaporated pop each potato using a ladle or large spoon, creating a small crack in each, but do not smash. Allow the potatoes to brown on each side, another 5 minutes, and re-season with salt and pepper, if necessary or desired. Remove the browned potatoes from the skillet and place onto a serving platter, garnished with the parsley.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, add the potatoes and enough cold water to cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Season with salt, decrease the heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Add the edamame and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander.
• Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until the butter is melted, then cover and keep warm.
• Return the drained vegetables to their saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until a floury film forms on the bottom of the pan, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Mash the vegetables in the saucepan until smooth with a ricer, food mill, or potato masher. Add the warm milk mixture and the chives, stirring vigorously until well combined. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place the Yukon gold potatoes in a pot of boiling water with skin on.
• Heavily salt the boiling potatoes.
• When the potatoes are fully cooked (about 30 to 40 minutes), drain the water and leave the potatoes in the pot.
• Using a hand masher, thoroughly mash the potatoes with their skin.
• Add a drizzle of olive oil and the stick of butter. Thoroughly combine.
• Salt to taste and serve.
