SALT POTATOES WITH BUTTER AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Bring potatoes, salt and 6 cups water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the salt has dissolved. Lower to a simmer, then cook until potatoes are tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Pour the water and potatoes into a colander in the sink and leave to air-dry for 5 minutes; you will see the salt start to form on the outside of the potatoes.
• Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, then pour the melted butter and sprinkle the chives over the top. Toss together, then serve immediately.

SALT-ROASTED GERMAN BUTTERBALL POTATOES WITH MASCARPONE & CHIVES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread half the salt in a medium baking dish. Place potatoes on top of salt, then bury completely with remaining salt. Bake potatoes until tender, 45-60 minutes. Remove potatoes from salt, brushing off any excess, and transfer to a serving dish. Let cool slightly. Gently split potatoes and spoon mascarpone into centers. Sprinkle with chives. Serve with more mascarpone on the side.

MASCARPONE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potato halves into a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until very tender, about 15 minutes. A knife should pierce the middle of a potato half easily. Transfer potatoes to a colander and drain thoroughly, about 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Whisk mascarpone cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir egg yolk and milk into mascarpone cheese, whisking until smooth; season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• Transfer potatoes to a separate large mixing bowl, add butter chunks to potatoes, and season with salt and black pepper. Mash butter into potatoes with a potato masher until fluffy; a few lumps are okay. Whisk mascarpone mixture into mashed potatoes.
• Spread mashed potatoes into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Smooth the top and use the tip of a spatula to lightly press the potatoes and lift up to create little peaks and valleys in the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are heated through and top is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
