Course Side Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Idaho potatoes peeled and quartered
  • 1 stick butter finely cubed
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground white pepper
  • pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1-1/4 cups heavy cream warmed

Instructions

  • Cover potatoes with unsalted water in large pot; bring to boiling over medium-high heat. Cover; reduce heat to low. Cook potatoes until tender but still firm, about 7 minutes. Drain into colander; let stand to dry out slightly.
  • While potatoes are still hot, pass them through a potato ricer into medium bowl. Fold in butter pieces with wooden spoon; season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  • Gradually whisk warmed cream into hot potatoes; avoid overworking mixture. Add enough cream to reach desired consistency. Check seasoning and adjust if necessary.
  • Place hot mixture in pastry bag and pipe onto plates.
