This is a unique twist to mashed potatoes. The apple gives the potatoes a new dimension and level of flavor. They were a huge hit with my husband and tasted wonderful with chorizo and chicken. Ingredients:
2 cups water, divided |
1 teaspoon brown sugar |
1 small lemon, halved and juiced, halves reserved |
1 large apple (such as honey crisp), peeled and chopped |
4 large baking potatoes, peeled and chopped |
6 cups water |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Boil 2 cups water, brown sugar, lemon juice, juiced lemon halves, and apple together in a pot over medium-high heat until apples are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Discard spent lemon halves; drain and keep apples warm.
2. Boil potatoes with 6 cups water in a large pot over medium-high heat until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
3. Mash potatoes and apples together with a ricer or hand mixer.
4. Stir butter, heavy whipping cream, salt, and ground black pepper into mashed potatoes and apples. If desired, keep warm in a 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for up to 20 minutes.
