Epicurean Exploits - Food and Recipes

Grass fed Chuck Roast from 8 o’clock Ranch with shitake and maitake (hen of the woods) mushrooms. Mashed potatoes with white truffle butter, heavy cream and sage. I cracked open a bottle of 2007 BR Cohn Silver Label Cab which was not a quintessential pairing but sufficed.

That looks delicious and the potatoes sound sinfully good.

Thanks, I was testing a different cooking method for the mashed potatoes. I cut the potatoes into small thin slices, sauteed them with truffle butter to gain some caramelization and finished cooking them in the heavy cream. The flavor was spot on but the texture should have been more fluffy. [oops.gif] Next time I will soak the potatoes to remove more starch.
