Whipped Mashed Potatoes with Black Truffle Cheese
Make these Whipped Mashed Potatoes with Black Truffle Cheese as a simple and elegant side dish!
It’s Cheese of the Month time! I really love this time of month. I mean who couldn’t love discovering and sharing a delicious Canadian cheese?! Since I began my partnership with the Dairy Farmers of Canada, I’ve had the chance to feature a wide variety of delicious, award winning Canadian cheeses. I’ve been amazed at just how many amazing cheeses we have available to us, made right here at home in Canada.
This month’s Canadian Cheese of the month is a Black Truffle Monterey Jack cheese by Bothwell Cheese, from New Bothwell Manitoba. Bothwell Cheese prides themselves on using 100% Canadian milk for all of their cheese products.
This Bothwell Black Truffle Monterey Jack Cheese is made with Italian black summer truffles which are blended throughout their creamy and rich Monterey Jack cheese. The flavours are complex, earthy and smooth.
I thought the distinct flavour of truffle would complement a bowl of creamy mashed potatoes in a big way. Adding the truffle cheese to mashed potatoes is a great way to turn an everyday side dish into an elegant dish you can serve during the holiday season, or at an elegant get together with friends.
The key to knocking these potatoes out of the park, is to whip them, and make them as smooth and creamy as possible. Get out your mixer and whip these potatoes! Then stir in a generous amount of freshly grated truffle cheese, and the end result is a bowl of creamy mashed potatoes, full of rich truffle flavour. They’re a perfect dish to serve with a prime rib roast, and a glass of Italian Sangiovese. Yum.
So if you’re looking to kick your mashed potatoes up a notch, this is how you do it! Enjoy!
