How to Make Apple Mashed Potatoes
- Peel and cube 2 lbs of Yukon Gold potatoes. Place in a large saucepan and cover with salted boiling water. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 minced shallot and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 2 diced apples to the saucepan with the shallot. Cook until apples are very tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly.
- Add the cooked apples and shallot mixture to the drained potatoes.
- Roughly mash the potato and apple mixture with a potato masher. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and use an electric mixer to create a smooth puree. Add the heavy cream and nutmeg, mixing until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
