Tuscan Potato Mash With Olive Oil And Parmesan Cheese
- 1 1/2 pounds white potatoes
- 2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- salt
- white pepper
- Wash, peel and cut the potatoes in pieces all the same size. Don't wash the potatoes after you cut them so they keep the starch.
- Put them in a pan with the cold milk and cook over very low heat (don't put a lid on as the milk easily comes up and out of the pan). Check for doneness by inserting the blade of a sharp knife through the potatoes.
- Shave the parmesan cheese.
- Drain the potatoes, reserving the milk and keeping it hot. Before the potatoes cool, mash them through a potato ricer or a hand held food mill (DO NOT process them or they will become gluey). Put them in a heat proof bowl or a pan, away from the heat and stir vigourously the olive oil into the potatoes with a wooden spoon. Add the hot milk in a stream until you have the right consistency (go slowly with the milk, it's easier to add a little more if needed then ending up with a very liquid puree).
- Season with salt, freshly ground WHITE pepper, the parmesan cheese and pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
- Keep warm in a bain-marie (don't put the pan directly over heat). Serve as quickly as possible, with a drizzle of olive oil and some grated nutmeg on top.
