Fondue Mashed Potatoes Recipe

4.8 from 115 reviews

This Fondue Mashed Potatoes recipe transforms traditional mashed potatoes into a rich and indulgent dish by incorporating a blend of Gruyère and mozzarella cheeses, garlic, white wine, and butter. Perfectly creamy and cheesy, these potatoes are a decadent side that pairs wonderfully with roasted meats or can be enjoyed on their own.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1 lb. russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste

Cheese and Dairy

  • 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 8 oz. finely grated Gruyère (about 2 cups)
  • 4 oz. finely grated mozzarella
  • 1 cup heavy cream, warmed

Other

  • 1 large clove garlic, grated
  • 2 tbsp. dry white wine

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes: In a medium saucepan, toss the finely chopped potatoes with 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15 to 18 minutes.
  2. Drain and Mash: Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a ricer or food mill. Press the potatoes back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat. Add the grated garlic, unsalted butter, and dry white wine, stirring frequently. Continue to cook until the wine has nearly evaporated and the butter is fully melted, approximately 2 minutes.
  3. Add Cheese and Cream: Gradually whisk in the finely grated Gruyère and mozzarella cheeses along with the warmed heavy cream. Stir continuously over medium heat until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with additional salt to taste and serve warm.

Notes

  • Using a ricer or food mill ensures a smooth, lump-free mashed potato texture.
  • Warm the heavy cream before adding to prevent cooling down the potatoes and to help the cheese melt better.
  • Adjust the amount of salt based on your taste preference and the saltiness of the cheeses used.
  • If dry white wine is unavailable, a splash of chicken or vegetable broth can be substituted.
  • For a lighter version, consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream, though this will slightly reduce creaminess.
