Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cooked lobster meat, roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes until smooth.
- Gradually pour the melted butter and garlic into the mashed potatoes, stirring until well combined.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until warm. Gradually pour the warm cream into the mashed potatoes, stirring constantly to incorporate.
- Gently fold in the cooked lobster meat, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the Lobster Mashed Potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional chives, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
