Warm Mashed Potato and Swiss Chard Terrine
- 1 bunch Swiss Chard (about 1 pound), rinsed
- 5 russet (baking) potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs, beaten lightly
- Remove coarse chard stems, reserving them for another use.
- In a saucepan cook chard in water clinging to its leaves, covered, over moderately high heat, stirring once or twice, until wilted and tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Drain chard well in a colander and pat dry between paper towels.
- In a food processor chop chard fine and season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a loaf pan, 9 by 5 by 3-inches, and line bottom with buttered waxed paper.
- Peel potatoes and quarter.
- In a kettle cover potatoes by 1 inch with salted cold water and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and while still warm force through a ricer or medium disk of a food mill into a bowl.
- With an electric mixer beat in butter, eggs, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth.
- Transfer half of potato mixture to another bowl and beat in chard until smooth.
- Spread chard mixture in prepared pan and spread plain potato mixture evenly over it.
- Terrine may be prepared up to this point 3 days ahead and chilled, covered.
- Put loaf pan in a baking pan and pour enough hot water into baking pan to reach halfway up sides of loaf pan.
- Bake terrine in middle of oven 40 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted in center comes out clean, and let stand in loaf pan on a rack 5 minutes.
- Run knife around edge of terrine and invert onto a plate.
- Serve terrine cut into slices.
