Need recipe for Chef Mickey's mashed potatoes

[mar3990]

I'm sure its on here somewhere but the search is down and my kids are craving the parmesan mashed potatoes from Chef Mickey's Buffet at the Contemporary. Can anyone help me out?

These are the two versions I have. Don't forget to drain the potatoes after cooking. I would also add the milk as needed, so they don't turn out too soupy.


PARMESAN POTATOES

3 large baking potatoes
3 Tbsp. butter
1/2 C. grated parmesan
1 C. warm milk

Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks and boil about 15 minutes until
tender. Mash, using a potato masher or a heavy fork. Put back in the pot
with the butter, cheese and milk. Blend well, adding salt and pepper to
taste. (Do not use a food processor for this recipe.)



Chef Mickey's Mashed Potatoes

2 and a half lbs. peeled potatoes
one half lb. butter
16 oz. hot milk
4 oz. grated parmesan cheese
3 oz. scallions chopped
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper

Cook potatoes in salted water until softened. Mash the potatoes with the butter and milk.
Add the grated cheese, scallions and season with salt and pepper.

Thanks for the reply. Have you made either version? Which one tastes more like the hotel's? I don't remember tasting any scallions in the ones we had at Chef Mickey's but I could be wrong.

I've never tried either of the recipes because my mother used to make her potatoes with parmesan, so I've done it that way for years. However, I can tell you that the potatoes did NOT have scallions in them the night we were there. I'm allergic to onion & had no trouble eating them. There may have been the green tops scattered across the top, but no scallions IN the potatoes. Of course, there's no guarantee that they use the same recipe every night.

1/2 c of parmesan seems like a lot of cheese. I'd try the less amount from the other recipe & add more after tasting. Same thing with the butter!
