A delightful twist on classic mashed potatoes, infused with the bold flavor of wasabi for a unique and creamy side dish.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even chunks.
Cutting the potatoes into similar sizes ensures even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and add half of the salt. Bring to a boil.
Boiling with salt enhances the flavor of the potatoes.
Simmer the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes.
Check tenderness by piercing with a fork; it should slide in easily.
In a small bowl, mix the wasabi powder with water to form a paste.
Let the paste sit for a minute to develop its full flavor.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
Returning them to the pot helps evaporate excess moisture.
Mash the potatoes with butter until smooth.
Use a masher or ricer for the smoothest texture.
Mix in the heavy cream and half-and-half, mashing until creamy.
Adjust the cream quantity for your desired consistency.
Stir in the wasabi paste and remaining salt, adjusting to taste.
Taste as you go to ensure the wasabi level suits your preference.
Serve the mashed potatoes hot, garnished with a sprinkle of chives if desired.
Chives add a fresh and colorful touch to the dish.
