Directions:

Mashed potatoes
  1. Place in a large saucepan with enough water to cover the potatoes. Heat over high heat until boiling. lower heat to medium high and boil for about 15 minutes until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Remove from heat. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Let cool.
  2. Run potatoes through a potato ricer (best for really fluffy potatoes) or use a potato masher for a chunkier mash. Mix in the butter, truffle oil, Labne cheese and milk. Use reserved cooking liquid to thin if necessary - especially if potatoes will be in a warmer until serving.
  3. While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the Crispy Mushroom Bits (recipe below).
