Ingredients
- 1 pound butter, slightly softened
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large dice
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Small bunch chives, thinly sliced
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- For the smoked paprika butter: Combine the butter, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl. Roll into a log, wrap in waxed paper or parchment and refrigerate until very cold.
- For the mashed potatoes: Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover by 2 inches with cold water and add 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Drain the potatoes, run through a food mill set over a large bowl and rice until very fine.
- Combine the milk and heavy cream in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat.
- Put the potatoes back in the pot, place the pot back over low heat and, using a wooden spatula, stir the potatoes to dry them out. Begin adding the cold paprika butter little by little, vigorously stirring with a wooden spoon until the butter is incorporated. (Adding the cold butter slowly will create an emulsion.) Slowly stir in the warm milk mixture bit by bit, and then switch to a whisk and whisk until light and fluffy. Fold in the chives and season with salt and pepper.

Okay, but NOTHING like Bobby’s
slightly altered with a full bulb of roasted garlic and heavy cream.
One pound of butter for 6 potatoes??
A ricer is a piece of equipment….you smush the potatoe through the ricer and the potatoes come out on the other side looking like rice. Makes for very smooth and creamy potatoes…no lumps. Rice the potatoes then add your cream and butter. Beats mashing any day! Hope this helps.
I wanted to make this for Thanksgiving dinner, however I was unable to watch the entire episode on Saturday. I’ve looked the recipe up on line and I am slightly confused, what does this mean…..”run through a food mill set over a large bowl and rice until very fine”. Help!!
