Potato-Basil Purée

[heart_this] · Nov 22, 2019 · 1 Comment

FULL DISCLOSURE: If you don’t looooove basil, don’t make this! It has upwards of 2 cups of fresh basil and YOU WILL TASTE IT. This recipe is from my queen, Ina aka the Barefoot Contessa aka the Hamptons Head Honcho. I love basil, I love potatoes, and I love extra-creamy puréed potatoes. This side dish recipe hits all those notes. These will be very loose, but as potatoes sit and cool, they absorb liquid and firm up. If you really just can’t with puréed potatoes, you can definitely cut back on the liquid a bit.

These make a great potato side to just about anything, but especially to soak up the sauce from this Creamy Lemon Chicken with Spinach and Artichokes. Have you ever met a potato you didn’t like?

ABOUT ME

Hi. I’m Amanda. I love food, cooking, sharing it with others and documenting it. I’m a little of this and little of that-taste while you go type of cook.  I found a true passion over the years when I really began to understand how deeply connected food and love are.
