The classic combination between potato puree and truffle-flavored oil is such a staple in restaurants in recent years for a very good reason. It's absolutely and simply delicious. As if potatoes - which we know are so good in various combinations or on their own - were only created to provide the perfect base for highlighting that lovely oil. And it's so easy to make you have no excuse not to try it.
It makes a good side but it's also lovely on its own. We like it on its own, just with some assorted salad.
Enjoy :).
Last year: another kind of bun in the oven (and not a lot of cooking due to the morning sickness that came with it).
Ingredients (serves 2-3):
- 5 medium potatoes (like yukon gold)
- 5-10 g butter (a thin slice)
- 20 ml milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons truffle oil (99% olive oil, 1% truffle)
Boil the whole potatoes. After they're soft enough to pierce with a sharp knife, run cool water over them and peel.
Crush them with the butter and milk (just a little to make it softer). Flavor generously with the truffle oil:
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving plates and pour some extra drops of truffle oil on each serving. It's done, dig in! :)
