Not a "holiday" in the middle of October, but a family celebration. Also served the 2 hour slow cooked string beans and they were a hit as well. The sides almost outshone the prime rib!

His wonderful, silky, milk gravy was ladled generously on to the potatoes so he may not have used as much butter as you; these potatoes never dissolved under all that gravy. Rich potatoes and gravy are perfectly suitable for a Feast and that is what holiday main meals are suppose to be. Thanks for reminding me of that and of my daddy's cooking that I've missed for 48 years. <br />MSfood'Slifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765350821806659366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-27047035807039646992018-09-17T21:58:06.237-04:002018-09-17T21:58:06.237-04:00Best mash I have ever made.

A sophisticated, rich, and decadent dish like this should be (in my opinion) uniformly smooth and creamy. The "old school" masher is fine but, might leave you with a few lumps giving you a slightly more "rustic" result. Your choice I suppose.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110553495605818928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-79270944408049043922017-01-11T17:51:12.474-05:002017-01-11T17:51:12.474-05:00Chef John,

I somewhat expected a disaster to happen, but no, nothing bad happened. In fact, a wonderful thing happened (though probably unrelated to the coldness of the butter) - the mashed potatoes turned out perfect, so creamy and delicious... :D<br /><br />Thanks for making this great argument in favour of butter.

I was lucky enough to get a fresh winter truffle and will be shaving a bit of this in at the end to take them up just a bit. <br /><br />One thing I typically do with the potatoes is to run them through a ricer. Makes for the smoothest potatoes. Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00544804267245451108noreply@blogger.com
