    Pommes de Terre Robuchon...Mashed Potatoes!!

    September 3, 2015 by Kyle 2 Comments

    Pommes de Terre Robuchon are the creamiest, richest most decadent mashed potatoes you will ever eat. This recipe is a riff on famed chef, Joel Robuchon's potatoes. And it's so easy you can re-create it right in your own kitchen!

    Overhead shot of mashed potatoes garnished with chopped chives. The top of these Pomme de Terre Robuchon is fluted with a knife edge to create texture.

    When Anna assigned me "Pommes de terre Robuchon" for our August 2013 Lark Cookbook Gr8 dinner, I couldn't have been more excited. Mashed potatoes are by far one of my favorite side dishes.

    Overhead shot of Pommes de Terre Robuchon (mashed potatoes) in a dish with green handles topped with chopped chives. It's sitting on a checkered cutting board with a butcher knife to the right and some unchopped chives to the left.

    With her invitation for the evening she included four small cast iron pots so that each couple could share this rich and tasty treat. Also, this task gave me the excuse I needed to buy a ricer which I now use every time I make mashed potatoes. As fancy as it looks, this recipe could not be easier and is so tasty.

      Hi Lon,
      I used to think that mashed potatoes were labor intensive too but honestly since getting the ricer, it is so much easier.
      Have a gr8 weekend!

      You make it sounds so easy! I have always found mashed potatoes to be very labor intensive. Perhaps I will try it with a small group first. Thank you!!
