This recipe uses two luxurious Great Southern Truffle options: truffle butter and truffle sauce, for a decadent and flavourful side dish. Choose your preference or try both for a truffle-infused taste sensation!
Ingredients:
1.5 kg of potatos of your preference (peeled and cut into cubes)
125g unsalted butter
250ml milk (full cream for extra richness)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Truffle Option 1:
50g Great Southern Truffle Butter
Truffle Option 2:
2-3 tablespoons Great Southern Truffle Sauce (adjust to desired truffle intensity)
Instructions:
Cook the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain well and return the potatoes to the pot.
Mashing Magic: Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until mostly smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture.
Butter Up: While the potatoes are hot, add the butter (and truffle butter if using) and mash until fully incorporated. This helps create a silky smooth texture.
Creamy Dream: Gradually whisk in the warm milk until the desired consistency is reached. You can add more milk for a looser mash, or keep it thicker for a richer flavour.
Cheese Please (Optional): If using Parmesan cheese, stir it in now and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Truffle Time!
Truffle Butter Option: Gently fold in the truffle butter, ensuring even distribution of the truffle flavour.
Truffle Sauce Option: Slowly add the truffle sauce, a tablespoon at a time, tasting after each addition to achieve your desired truffle intensity.
Serve & Savour: Serve your creamy truffle mash immediately, garnished with a drizzle of truffle oil (optional).
For extra truffle indulgence, use both truffle butter and truffle sauce! Just adjust the quantities to your taste preference.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk to prevent drying.
Great Southern Truffles also offers truffle infused sea salt. Sprinkle some on top before serving for an extra flavour boost.
