Lemon And Caper Mashed Potatoes Recipes

MARTHA STEWART'S LEMON AND CAPER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan, and fill with enough water to cover potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Add a generous amount of salt; reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 15 minutes.
• Drain; place the potatoes back in the pot and using a potato masher or potato ricer, mash potatoes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 5 tablespoons butter, milk, lemon juice, zest, and capers.
• Heat until butter is melted and the mixture is warm to the touch.
• Fold the milk mixture and parsley into the mashed potatoes, and season with salt and pepper.
• Dot with remaining tablespoon butter just before serving.
• Easy!

Steps:

• Cook potatoes and garlic in lightly salted water until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes; drain, but reserve a cup of the cooking liquid.
• Mash potatoes to desired consistency, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, and enough of the reserved liquid to reach the desired consistency.
• Transfer mash to a serving bowl, top with capers, parsley, and lemon peel; drizzle with remaining olive oil and squeeze the lemon juice over top and serve.
