Whipped Yukon Gold Potatoes

Go to Recipe

These potatoes from Thomas Keller’s restaurant Ad Hoc have a wonderfully fluffy texture because they’re passed through a ricer or food mill to make them especially airy. But they’re also nicely rich, thanks to generous amounts of butter and heavy cream.

Mashed Potatoes with Manchego and Olive Oil

Go to Recipe

Instead of using butter, chef José Andrés prefers to add richness with olive oil and Manchego cheese. His tip: “Add the olive oil slowly to the potatoes because if you dump it in all at once, you’ll get streaks of oil.”

Herbed Potato Soufflé

Go to Recipe

“Most people are afraid of soufflés because they think soufflés are so delicate,” says Mike Davis. The starchy potatoes here, however, prevent this fluffy soufflé from falling. If you plan to serve this recipe with the Syrah-Braised Lamb Shoulder, prepare it through Step 2 while the lamb cooks, then bake it as soon as the lamb comes out of the oven.

Mashed Potatoes with Butternut Squash

Go to Recipe

For ultrafluffy potatoes, Grace Parisi presses them through a ricer. To achieve a similar texture, pass the potatoes through a food mill or a fine-mesh sieve. If you choose to mash them by hand, be gentle; otherwise, the potatoes will turn gluey.
