The Art of Michelin-Star Mashed Potatoes
Creating the perfect mashed potatoes can elevate any meal, transforming this classic side dish into a culinary delight. In this guide, we will explore the secrets behind making buttery, smooth, and decadent mashed potatoes that could easily earn a place in a three-star Michelin restaurant.
Starting Ingredients
To kick things off, the choice of potato is crucial. Yukon Gold potatoes are highly recommended due to their availability and their ideal creamy texture. If you find yourself in Europe, the Ratatouille potatoes are also a great alternative. The thin skin of these potatoes helps to keep water from entering during the boiling process, allowing for a richer flavor when they are mashed.
