Wasabi Potato Gratin Recipes

WASABI MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Remove papery outer skin of garlic bulb. Rub with olive oil and place on a small baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until skin can be easily pierced with a fork.
• While garlic is roasting, peel and quarter the potatoes. Place in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and allow potatoes to simmer until very soft, about 20 minutes. Drain water and mash potatoes with butter until smooth and fluffy.
• Squeeze softened garlic cloves out of skin into pot; in a small bowl, mix wasabi powder with just enough water to form a thick paste. Mash garlic and wasabi paste into potatoes, pour in milk and continue to mash until mixture is light and fluffy; season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.

WASABI MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into approximately 2-inch chunks.
• Place in pot with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, cover with water and bring to a boil.
• When boiling, cover and reduce heat to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• While the potatoes are cooking, in a small bowl combine the wasabl powder and the water to make a paste and set aside.
• Drain the potatoes and immediately return them to the same pot.
• While the potatoes are still hot add the butter and mash until completely smooth.
• Add the cream and mash again until well combined and creamy.
• Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the wasabi paste and mash once more, until well combined.
• As mentioned above, these may be potent for some, so you may want to add the wasabi a little at a time, tasting as you go (It's perfect for me with the full amount).
• If you want creamier potatoes, add more cream by the teaspoon until desired consistency.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 180°C Thinly slice the peeled potatoes by hand or using a mandoline, (about 2-3mm, ensuring they are as even as possible as this will help them to cook at the same time) and wash potatoes well in cold water.
• Grease the surface of a round or oval baking dish with soft butter and then rub with sliced garlic. Leave the garlic scattered in the dish.
• Combine the milk, cream and wasabi paste and season well.
• Arrange the sliced and washed potatoes in a single layer around the baking dish and then pour over the cream and milk mixture.
• Place into a preheated oven for 20 minutes until nicely browned on top and the potatoes are cooked, the cream and milk reduced until thick and creamy.
