Mashed Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes With Wild Garlic Greens Recipe

Mashed Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes with Wild Garlic Greens

From nathancarnes 17 years ago

A slight twist on class garlic mashed potatoes. Try it with roasted chicken and greens.

Thoroughly wash the potatoes
Halve or quarter the potatoes, leaving the skins on but cutting off any dark spots or blemishes
Cover the potatoes with about 2 inches of water in a large pot
Add salt until the water has slightly more salinity than sea water, then allow the potatoes to brine for an hour
Wash the garlic greens and slice into 1" sections
Wilt the greens in a little of the butter over medium-low until thoroughly softened and starting to pick up some color; set aside
Boil the potatoes until fork tender; drain thoroughly and return to pot
Add in butter, garlic greens, and half and half, and mash. Don't overmash, we're going for some chunks here.
Add cheese and black pepper to taste; check seasoning and adjust. You shouldn't need to add salt.

Addendum: a good substitution would probably be half a leek and a few cloves of garlic.

I used store-bought (from a local organic market). I'm not sure how easy it is to find actually growing wild, or in gardens.

by wild garlic do you just mean the wild garlic that grows in the lawn? How do you tell it from the wild onions (or does it matter much)?
