Lobster Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cream Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream and minced garlic. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Do not let it boil.

  3. 3

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add the unsalted butter to the warm potatoes and mash until smooth. Gradually add the warm cream mixture while mashing until you reach your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Lobster and Seasonings

    Gently fold in the lobster meat, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the lobster mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional chives if desired. Enjoy!
