Ingredients
- 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 6 large Yukon Gold potatoes
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup organic yellow polenta
- 2 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
- Butter a 9-by-14-inch broiler-proof baking dish.
- Cut out the blemishes or imperfections from the potatoes. Quarter the potatoes, add them to large pot with salted water to cover and boil until soft, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Mash the potatoes, transfer them to a large bowl and cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the cream, milk and 1 stick of the butter in a stock pot until warm. Add the polenta and 1 teaspoon of salt and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent clumping, until smooth and creamy, 50 to 60 minutes.
- Stir the pepper and remaining stick of butter into the polenta. Add the polenta to the mashed potatoes and stir until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the polenta mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
- Preheat the broiler. Broil the polenta mixture until the top of the dish has browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

Reviews
Live around the corner from the Starling Diner. While most of their food is super yummy and the place is charming, the polenta potatoes are “just ok”. People like them because they are different. I’ve never heard anyone rave about them. I’d spend my time on another recipe.
Super easy but very inventive! Love the texture and the flavor. What a way to jazz up mashed potatoes!
