Ingredients
- 4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- Coarse salt
- 1 3/4 cups half-and-half
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
Directions
-
Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with cold water by 1 inch, and add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain; return potatoes to pot.
-
Stir potatoes over medium heat until dry (a film of starch will form on bottom of pot), about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
-
In a small saucepan, combine half-and-half and butter; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Pour half of hot liquid over potatoes. Mash just until smooth, adding more liquid to reach desired consistency. Stir in parsley and chives; season with salt. Garnish with more herbs.
to Zakas, I have the recipe in Everyday Food, it serves 8.
Im from a farm and milk cows, then take the milk to a machine called a seperator which seperated the milk from the cream. Now we have 1 bucket of milk and 1 bucket of cream. Living in town you will have to buy cream and milk in seperate cartoons. Take 1 cup milk and 1 cup cream and mix together thus making "half and half" use it for your recipe and either drink the rest or put in coffee.
Half and Half is creamer used in coffee.
It's a mixture of half milk and half cream. If your store doesn't carry it in the dairy case, you can substitute equal parts milk and cream.
for those of us cooking these recipies outside the U.S. and Canada, what is "half and half"? =)
love recipe but doesnt say how many it feeds
