Like mushrooms, truffles are members of the fungi family. But these intensely aromatic, uniquely flavored delicacies are so much more than a humble mushroom. When you taste a truffle, your senses are greeted with earthy, nutty aromas and flavors unlike anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Truffles command a hefty price tag\u2014especially the highly sought-after white Alba truffles and French Perigord black truffles. The Burgundian truffle is slightly easier on the wallet, but still boasts phenomenal flavor when added to dishes.<\/p>\n<p>Since fresh truffles are hard to come by (or are, at the very least, lamentably expensive), the easiest way to add truffles to your cooking is by using one of the many brilliant truffle-infused products on the market. From truffle salts and truffle oils to condiments like truffle-infused mayo, ketchup and even honey, this gourmet ingredient has never been more accessible.<\/p>\n<p>However, when picking truffle products, reading the label is essential: Many products use synthetic compounds to mimic the flavor of these delightful fungi, and you will be able to taste the difference. Look for truffles in the ingredients list to guarantee you&#8217;re getting real truffle flavor.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Truffle Mashed Potatoes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Potatoes: <\/strong>Floury, starchy russets make the best mashed potatoes. Folks living in the United Kingdom can pick up a bag of Maris Pipers or King Edwards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk, butter and sour cream:<\/strong> This dairy trio lends a luxuriously creamy texture to the mashed potatoes. Sour cream adds a little tang, which pairs gorgeously with the earthy truffle flavor. Use whole milk for the creamiest mashed potatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese: <\/strong>Bold and savory Parmesan cheese has the intensity needed to go toe-to-toe with the truffle flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Truffle oil:<\/strong> Genuine truffle oil is the only acceptable choice for truffle mash\u2014or any recipe that calls for truffle oil\u2014because there&#8217;s a stark difference between the taste of authentic and synthetic truffle oils. Again, check the label when you&#8217;re at the store; true truffle oils will list truffles in the ingredients list.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt and pepper:<\/strong> Pepper&#8217;s earthy, warming spice and salt&#8217;s flavor-enhancing properties make them ubiquitous seasonings for most savory recipes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Truffle salt:<\/strong> This one is optional, but a sprinkling of truffle salt amplifies the truffle flavor in irresistible ways. If you&#8217;re finishing with truffle salt, reduce the amount of salt used when mashing the potatoes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Boil the potatoes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2081979 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-Mashed-Potatoes_FT24_277578_JR_1107_1-1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Overhead shot place potatoes in a stock pot; add water to cover; season water with 1 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil; reduce heat; cook; uncovered; until tender; 15-20 minutes; spoon; wooden surface;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Put the potatoes into a large stock pot.

Simply shave them into your mash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Truffle Mashed Potatoes<\/h2>\n<p>Leave your mashed potatoes to cool, then transfer them to an airtight container. Store the container in your refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h3>How long do truffle mashed potatoes last?<\/h3>\n<p>Refrigerated truffle mash lasts for three to four days. When stored in the freezer, they&#8217;ll last up to one month. If you keep frozen mashed potatoes any longer than that, their texture will change in a rather undesirable way because of the dairy.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat truffle mashed potatoes?<\/h3>\n<p>When it&#8217;s time to reheat your mashed potatoes, you&#8217;ve got options: the microwave, the stovetop or the oven. The microwave is the fastest, but there&#8217;s an art to reheating mashed potatoes this way. Reheat them in 30-second intervals, adding a little warm milk and melted butter when the potatoes are just warm. Continue in intervals until they&#8217;re warm.<\/p>\n<p>To reheat truffle mashed potatoes on the stovetop, put them in a saucepan with milk and a tablespoon of butter. Cook them over low heat, stirring regularly until they&#8217;re warm.<\/p>\n<p>If the oven is more your speed, preheat it to 350\u00b0F. While you&#8217;re waiting for it to heat up, put the mashed potatoes on the counter to come up to room temperature. Transfer them to an oven-safe dish or Dutch oven, cover them, then bake them for 15 to 20 minutes or until they&#8217;re warm.<\/p>\n<h2>Truffle Mashed Potatoes Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2081984 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-Mashed-Potatoes_FT24_277578_JR_1107_7-1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Overhead shot of Truffle Mashed Potatoes; serve on plate with rib and optional veggies; knife and fork; a glass water; marble surface;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you avoid lumpy mashed potatoes?<\/h3>\n<p>A velvety mash is simpler to achieve than you might think. Rule number one when it comes to silky-smooth mashed potatoes is cutting the potatoes so the chunks are roughly the same size. This promotes even cooking as they boil. Next, be sure not to undercook the potatoes. Lastly, let a potato ricer do the work for you when it&#8217;s time to mash. No ricer? A grater will work in a pinch.<\/p>\n<h3>How else can you use truffle mashed potatoes?<\/h3>\n<p>There are many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-up-leftover-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-up-leftover-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ways to use leftover mashed potatoes<\/a>.
