Wasabi Whipped Potatoes

By devogirl

The subtle heat of wasabi, also known as Japanese horseradish, complemented by a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, lends an element of surprise to these creamy East-West mashers. Wasabi powder can be found in Asian markets and well-stocked supermarkets.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place potatoes in large saucepan, cover with cold water, then drain to rinse away some starch. Cover with fresh cold water, bring to a boil over medium heat, and boil 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and beginning to fall apart.

2. Warm milk, butter, and wasabi paste in small saucepan over medium-low heat until butter is melted. Whisk to combine.

3. Drain potatoes, and return to saucepan. Beat on low speed with electric mixer to break up. With electric mixer running, beat in milk mixture until potatoes are smooth and light. Season with salt, if desired. Serve garnished with green onions (if using).
