Mashed Potatoes

Just in time for your Christmas feast, Chef Jacques Pépin shares his take on Mashed Potatoes and what to make with the leftovers!
Mashed Potatoes Serves 6
· 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
· 4 large garlic cloves (peeled or not; see the headnote)
· 3/4 teaspoon salt
· 4 tablespoons (1/2) stick unsalted butter
· 1 cup milk
· 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
· Wine for Cheers!
Gratin
· Eggs
· Pepper
· Orange Cheddar
Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks (2- to 2 1/2-inch pieces). Drop the potatoes into a pot, cover with water, and add the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and boil gently for 22 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
Push the potatoes through a food mill into a bowl. Add the butter and mix in thoroughly, then add the milk, mixing again until incorporated. Mix in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper and serve.
Leftover Mashed Potatoes
Mix leftover potatoes with eggs, pepper, orange cheddar -into a gratin, into the oven.

    love how casually he talks about the late joel robuchon, one of the greatest french chefs ever to walk the earth. and to be honest, he absolutely can, as he's seen and done it all already. while remaining a down-to-earth, humourous, all-round absolute charm of a man pretty much anyone would love to spend a day (or hundred) in the kitchen with! who at 84 still mashes potatoes by hand like it takes no effort at all!

    If mashing potatoes by hand takes significant effort, you're either using the wrong potatoes or undercooking them. It really shouldn't be much work.

    @Beliko R people have different view points on that. When I worked in the kitchens, I was one of the cleanest cooks and always cleaned up my area rest of the kitchen. There is a way to work clean and fast, even when you are crazy busy. I’ve been in some kitchens where I have seen it at the end of the night and it looked like a bomb went off in it. I called them slobs.

He Pulls it off like a a real pro in a kitchen, no one can tell unless you were trained, but that does not mean its bad, just shows he is the real deal.

    Mes hommages à monsieur Pépin. Une immense source d’inspiration culinaire. J’ai eu la chance de pouvoir le suivre à la télévision, de Montréal, depuis plusieurs années, et j’ai toujours eu un grand plaisir à faire ces recettes, et surtout à les dégustées. Chapeau bas grand chef!
