Potatoes with Chervil


Adapted from "Herbier Gourmand" by Marc Veyrat and François Couplan (Hachette, 1997)



Time: 45 minutes



2 pounds (about 6 medium) Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed

Coarse sea salt

1 cup heavy cream

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Pinch confectioners' sugar

1/2 cup loosely packed, finely chopped fresh chervil leaves

Salt and freshly ground black pepper.

1. In a large saucepan, combine potatoes with water to cover. Add sea salt to taste. Place over

high heat, and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and peel while still

warm; slice 1/4- inch thick.



2. Whip cream until it holds peaks. Set aside.



3. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter; when it foams, add potato slices. Add sugar,

chervil, and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté 5 minutes, adjusting heat as necessary so butter

does not brown.



4. Remove skillet from heat, and crush potatoes with a fork. Add whipped cream, and work in until

well blended. Adjust seasonings to taste, and transfer to a warm platter. Serve hot.



Yield: 4 servings.
