Paris Mash is a luxurious and creamy potato dish that perfectly balances rich butter and smooth cream. Follow this recipe to create a velvety side dish that complements any gourmet meal.
Step 1
Begin by placing 450g of boiling potatoes, such as red potatoes or Yukon Gold, in a pot. Cover them with water, adding enough to submerge the potatoes by 1 inch. Generously salt the water and bring it to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low, simmering for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Step 2
Drain the cooked potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Meanwhile, heat 1 1/2 cups of cream in a saucepan over medium heat, adding 250g of unsalted butter. Stir until the butter melts and combines with the cream.
Step 3
Peel the potatoes while they are still warm, then pass them through a food mill or ricer. Return the potatoes to the pan on low heat, stirring until they dry slightly. Gradually incorporate the cream and butter mixture, stirring continuously until smooth. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper to taste.
Paris Mash is a versatile side dish that pairs beautifully with a variety of main courses. Try serving it alongside a succulent roast chicken or a perfectly seared steak for a classic combination. For a lighter option, pair it with grilled fish or a fresh garden salad. To elevate your dining experience, consider adding a glass of crisp white wine or a robust red to complement the rich flavors of the mash.
For a truly luxurious Paris Mash, ensure your butter is unsalted and at room temperature before mixing. Heat the cream gently to prevent curdling and incorporate it slowly into the potatoes. Stir continuously over low heat to achieve a dry, fluffy texture before adding the cream mixture. This method prevents the mash from becoming too dense or sticky, resulting in a perfectly creamy dish that complements any meal.
To achieve the ideal texture and flavor in your Paris Mash, start by selecting high-quality potatoes like Yukon Gold or fingerling. Boil them with their skins on to preserve nutrients and flavor. After cooking, peel and pass the potatoes through a food mill for a smooth consistency. Emulsify with butter and cream, adding them gradually to avoid a runny texture. For a velvety finish, pass the mash through a fine drum sieve multiple times. Season with sea salt and white pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
