Parmesan & Shallot Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into uniform chunks. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Boil the Potatoes

   Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

3. 3

   Cook the Shallots

   While the potatoes are boiling, finely chop the shallots. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, add the shallots, and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Drain the Potatoes

   Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a few minutes to let off steam.

5. 5

   Mash the Potatoes

   Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, cooked shallots, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot.
