    Title: Mashed Potatoes


    Definitely trying this. I haven't added cream cheese to potatoes in a long time, and the coconut cream might give it a little splash of flavor.

    Title: Mashed Potatoes
    Categories: British, Potatoes
    Yield: 4 Servings

    900 g Potatoes (2 lb); peeled and
    -quartered
    Salt
    Freshly ground white pepper
    100 g Unsalted butter (4 oz)
    120 ml Double cream or milk (4 fl
    -oz)
    Freshly grated nutmeg

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until cooked, about 20-25 minutes
    depending on size.

    Drain off all the water and replace the lid. Shake the pan vigorously
    which will start to break the potatoes.

    Add the butter and cream or milk a little at a time, while mashing the
    potatoes.

    Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. The potatoes will now be light,
    fluffy, creamy and ready to eat.

    Notes:

    * Maris Piper potatoes puree very well.
    * Many flavors can be added for any particular dish. About 50 to
    85 ml (2 to 3 fl oz) of olive oil can replace the butter, or 1 to
    2 tb pesto sauce can be added for a different taste.
    * To the basic recipe, I sometimes add the juice of 1 lemon and 1
    to 2 tb of finely chopped shallot. This goes really well with fish.

    There's anoother thing I fault many recipe writers on. If you have a
    "bare" call for salt (no quantity specified and therefore "to taste")
    why the H3!! specify "unsalted" butter.

    When entering recipes I correct stuff like that as found. But, maybe
    that's just me. I do the same with many/most of Taste of Home's recipes
    that call for 2% milk - something the cant seem to get away from.

    Title: Dirty Mashed Potatoes
    Categories: Emeril, Potatoes, Offal, Poultry
    Yield: 10 Servings

    4 tb Butter; in all
    1/2 lb Turkey gizzards; ground
    1 c Finely chopped onions
    1/2 c Finely chopped bell peppers
    1 Rib celery; fine chopped
    Salt & cayenne pepper
    2 tb Minced garlic
    1 ts Dried oregano
    1 ts Dried thyme
    Fresh ground black pepper
    1 Bay leaf
    1/2 c Chicken stock
    1/2 lb Turkey or chicken livers;
    - ground
    3 lb White potatoes; peeled,
    - diced
    White pepper
    1 c Heavy cream (as needed)

    In a large saut‚ pan, melt 2 tablespoon butter. Add the
    gizzards and saut‚ for about 5 minutes, or until brown.
    Stir in the onions, bell peppers, and celery. Saut‚ the
    vegetables for about 4 minutes or until wilted. Season
    with salt and cayenne pepper. Stir in the garlic, oregano,
    thyme, black pepper, and bay leaf. Cook for about 2
    minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the chicken stock.
    Add the ground chicken liver and cook for 4 to 5 minutes,
    scraping the bottom and sides of the pan with a wooden
    spoon. Bring the liquid up to a simmer and cook for 2
    minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Discard the bay
    leaf. Remove from the heat and set aside.

    In a large pot, add the potatoes. Add enough water to
    cover the potatoes. Season the water with salt. Bring the
    liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer the
    potatoes for about 12 minutes or until fork tender. Remove
    from the heat and drain. Place the potatoes back in the
    pot and return to the heat. Cook the potatoes for 2
    minutes, stirring constantly, to dehydrate. Using a
    hand-held masher, mash the potatoes with the butter.
    Season with salt and white pepper.

    Fold in the gizzard mixture. Slowly add in enough cream
    until desired texture is achieved. Season with salt and
    white pepper. Mound the potatoes in the center of a large
    platter. Lay the carved turkey around the potatoes. Spoon
    the pan gravy over the top of the turkey. Serve the turkey
    with the above side items.

    Yields: 8-10 servings
