Creator Notes
Nora Ephron wrote in Heartburn, “In the stop, I consistently want potatoes. Mashed potatoes. Nothing admire mashed potatoes while you’re feeling blue. Nothing admire getting into into mattress with a bowl of hot mashed potatoes already loaded with butter, and methodically at the side of a thin chilly cleave of butter to every forkful. The difficulty with mashed potatoes, though, is that they require nearly as a lot exhausting work as crisp potatoes, and while you’re feeling blue the final thing you in fact feel admire is exhausting work.” Smartly, here is my acknowledge: the enviornment’s most reasonable mashed potatoes. Seriously—you do not even want to drain the pot after boiling.
All adaptations are gorgeous game with these potatoes: While you happen to don’t genuinely feel admire rinsing and cutting leeks, swap in shallots, more garlic, a yellow onion, or nothing the least bit. Which you’ll skip the wine and factual deglaze with one other splash of broth if it suits you better. Nora’s additional butter-garnish is, on the opposite hand, strongly urged for serving.
