Elevate Your Mashed Potatoes with Gordon Ramsay's Pomme Purée. When Chef Gordon Ramsay learned to perfect pomme purée in Paris, the mix was about 60 percent potato and 40 percent butter and cream. If you use dense, waxy potatoes and cook them following Gordon’s modernized method, you can up the potato flavor and only use about 10 percent fat.
Yukon Gold potatoes (yellow) are the best varietal for pomme purée—and they’re easy to find. Dice the potatoes for even cooking. Start the seasoned, diced Yukon Golds in cold water, bring to a rapid boil, then turn down to simmer for a gentle cook.
Pomme purée is French preparation that results in an ultra-creamy version of the best mashed potatoes you could ever envision, thanks to expertly whipped potatoes (which are sometimes passed through a potato ricer) and high fat content of double cream.
While mashed potato is rough and ready, easy to knock up and good at absorbing other sauces, pomme purée is made in a gentler way, gradually beating and folding the butter into the potatoes until they become a single, smooth entity that should sit alongside something equally luxurious.
