Ingredients

  • 1 pound boiling potatoes or white new potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 3/4 pound fresh uncured firm cheese, finely diced (see note)
  • 1 small clove garlic, chopped
  • Salt to taste if desired
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

  • Boil the potatoes until tender.
  • Drain, cool and peel.
  • Roughly mash the potatoes with the butter.
  • Place the potatoes in a food processor, and process, adding the cheese and garlic gradually.
  • Continue processing until the mixture has a smooth but somewhat gluey texture, so that it forms ribbonlike strands when picked up with a spoon.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Reheat briefly in a heavy saucepan, then serve.
