Wasabi Mashed Potatoes
I like serving this with quickly-seared ahi tuna steaks.
4 Servings
INGREDIENTS
11/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into
1cup water
1teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk if your diet would prefer)
2 tablespoons wasabi paste, either dry powder mixed with water, or tube of paste
1 teaspoon juice from pickled ginger (the kind used for sushi)
METHOD
1Add potatoes to Rice Cooker Pot and add water and salt. Close lid and press COOK.
2When rice cooker switches to KEEP WARM, either mash with a potato masher or pass potatoes through ricer or food mill (the best way to get perfectly smooth mashed potatoes).
3Return mashed potatoes to pot and gently stir in butter, cream, wasabi, pickled ginger juice and any additional salt if needed. If potatoes are too dry, add more cream.
4Taste for seasoning. Serve immediately or keep hot on the KEEP WARM setting.
