“Sweet
garlic, tangy chèvre, and fragrant rosemary conspire to make
one
of the
best mashed potatoes we’ve ever tasted. Serve this rich mash
with
leg
of lamb,
grilled steak,
Seared Peppered Sirloin or chicken.”
8
large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
4
tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2
cup whole milk
4
ounces unaged chèvre
1
head of garlic, roasted, the pulp
squeezed from the cloves *
1
tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2
teaspoons salt
1
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
*
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the top off of the head of garlic,
exposing the cloves. Rub the head with a little olive oil and wrap in
foil.
Roast in the oven until the cloves are completely soft, about 30
minutes.
When cool, squeeze the softened garlic pulp from its skin; it
will have
a pastelike consistency.
1.
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add water to cover by 2
inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer
until
fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
2.
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in the milk in a small
saucepan set over low heat.
3. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Return them to the saucepan and
set
over low heat. Toss for a minute to evaporate any excess moisture.
Add
the butter and milk mixture and mash the potatoes with a sturdy
whisk.
Crumble in the chèvre, roasted garlic, rosemary, salt and pep-
per; mash
to combine. Taste for seasoning. Serve immediately.
Other
ways to do it: To
make sour cream and chive mashed potatoes,
substitute
1 1/4 cups sour
cream for the chèvre, reduce the milk in the
recipe to 1/4 cup,
and add
1/4 cup minced chives. Omit the rosemary.
