Consider the homely potato. A simple tuber--most often served baked, fried, or mashed--it inspires little passion, belonging instead to that same culinary family of comfort foods as macaroni and cheese or oatmeal. But with Sarah Reynold's
50 Best Mashed Potatoes, this humble root's fortunes may be changing. Replace the standard butter/milk/salt with chipotle chiles and cilantro butter, for example, or mash your potatoes with a wild mushroom ragout.... you'll hardly recognize this as the same vegetable your mother used to serve with Sunday dinner. From Smashed Red Potatoes with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil to traditional recipes that are
still better than the ones your mother used to make,
50 Best Mashed Potatoes offers up a mashed potato for every occasion. Let your tubers take a walk on the wild side.
