These luxurious mashed potatoes are enriched with butter, crème fraîche, and a drizzle of truffle oil, yielding a silky, fluffy texture with an earthy aroma. They are the perfect indulgent side dish for holidays or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes (about 4 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • Kosher salt (for boiling water)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup crème fraîche
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon truffle oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and add cold water to cover by 1 inch. Add 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. While the potatoes cook, warm the milk and crème fraîche in a small saucepan over low heat until just steaming (do not boil). Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to evaporate any excess moisture. This ensures a fluffy, not watery, mash.
  4. Pass the potatoes through a ricer or food mill into a large bowl, or mash with a potato masher until smooth. Avoid over-mashing with a food processor, which can make them gluey.
  5. Add the warm milk mixture, butter, truffle oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Stir gently with a spatula until fully incorporated and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  6. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with chives if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat with a splash of milk, stirring until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended as the texture may become watery.
