Chef Tyler’s Whipped Potato Casserole
Ingredients
- 3 oz Point Reyes Toma or other artisanal semi-hard cheese
- 2 lbs fingerling potatoes
- 1½ pound Yukon Gold potatoes
- 5 oz 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pint buttermilk
- Balinese Truffle Salt
Instructions
Prep
- Cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Peel and cut the fingerling potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Grate the Toma.
- Dice the butter.
How to Cook
- In a large pot, cover the potatoes with cold water.
- Add a pinch of kosher salt and turn the heat to medium-high. Bring to a simmer, then adjust the heat to maintain a simmer until the potatoes are tender.
- Drain, then return the potatoes to the pot. Use a spoon to crush.
- Turn the heat to low and stir with a whisk until the potatoes dry slightly.
- Slowly add the buttermilk, stirring continuously to emulsify.
- Whisk in the butter and whip the potatoes until smooth.
- BONUS: Saute your favorite ButcherBox sausage and fold it in!
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with Balinese Truffle Salt.
- Transfer the potatoes into a casserole dish and top with the grated cheese.
- If serving immediately, set your broiler to high and broil, uncovered, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. If storing, set aside to allow the potatoes to come to room temperature, then cover with aluminum foil and store in your refrigerator, ready to reheat for Turkey Day!
Reheating Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- Bake, covered with the aluminum foil, until warmed through, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and turn your oven to broil and broil until GBD (Golden Brown & Delicious). Finish with a final sprinkle of Balinese Truffle Salt.
