Puree de Pommes de Terre a la Truffe
- 1 pound Yukon gold or other baking potatoes, scrubbed clean
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 13 cup milk
- 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, diced
- 1/2 cup canned black truffle juice
- 2 tablespoons (about 13 ounce) finely chopped black truffles
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Combine the potatoes and coarse salt in a large saucepan, and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender all the way through when tested with a knife.
- Drain and let stand until just cool enough to handle.
- Peel the potatoes and pass them through a mill; this will yield about 2 cups of potatoes.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the milk and 2 tablespoons of the butter until the butter has melted.
- Raise the heat to medium-low and stir in the potatoes, 1/4 cup of the truffle juice and 3 tablespoons of the remaining butter.
- Stir with a whisk until smooth.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup truffle juice, the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and the chopped truffles.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, and keep stirring until smooth.
- To keep warm for up to 30 minutes, dot with a little butter to keep a skin from forming, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface, and keep the pan in a larger pan of slowly simmering water until ready to serve.
