Smashed Parmesan Potatoes

Carrot Purée

Method

Smashed Parmesan Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into quarters and place them in a large pot of salted water.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Walleye

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil. Season the Walleye fillets with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Cook the Walleye

    Place the Walleye fillets in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.

Carrot Purée

  1. 6

    Prepare the Carrots

    Wash, peel, and chop the carrots into small pieces.

  2. 7

    Cook the Carrots

    In a saucepan, combine the chopped carrots and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the carrots are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 8

    Blend the Carrots

    Use an immersion blender or transfer the carrot mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth.

  4. 9

    Finish the Purée

    Stir in cream, butter, salt, and black pepper to taste. Blend again if necessary to achieve a smooth consistency.
