Mashed Potatoes:
6 pounds red potatoes
1 1/2 quarts milk
4 tablespoons Kosher salt
6 ounces butter
1 teaspoon black peper
9 pounds potatoes
Add blue cheese to taste
Sorry no instructions, make as one would make mash potatoes, this is printed from their batch recipes and yields 15 pds and 11 servings. Yes cut in half or then some.
Cook spinach as per instructions,
saute olive oil and garlic in saute pan, when spinach is done and drained add to pan with oil and garlic and mix. that's it. Garlic adjust to your taste, spinach needs salt.
Bourbon Sauce, this is used over the filet. Again this is a batch recipe that makes a gallon (10 servings)
Bourbon Sauce:
4 1/8 oz onion diced medium
1/3 oz garlic minced
7 1/2 oz bourbon (Jack Daniels)
1 1/4 quarts veal stock
3/4 oz clarified butter
Kosher salt to taste
black pepper to taste
In a large pot heat the butter and caramelize onions, once the onions are caramelized add the garlic. Add the bourbon and reduce till almost dry. Add the veal stock, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Reduce by 2/3's and season to taste.
Now the presentation, if I remember the mashed potatoes were on the bottom, the filet was placed on top w/the bourbon sauce lightly poured over them. The Spinach was to the side.
Luckily the manager was going around and asking the customers how everything was. They had him pull up a chair for a chat.
