Bonjour, dear reader! Today, we venture into a fusion of traditional culinary arts with a subtle nod to the progressive world of culinary cannabis. Our take on this classic comfort dish, Mashed Potatoes, is made even more enchanting by the addition of Cannabidiol (CBD) oil. This humble, yet extraordinary, combination delivers not only an exquisite taste, but also the wellness benefits associated with CBD.
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
2.5 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes
1 cup of heavy cream
4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
2 teaspoons of CBD oil (Ensure its food-grade, and always consult with a healthcare professional about dosage)
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by thoroughly washing the potatoes. Peel them if you wish or leave the skins on for a more rustic texture. Cut the potatoes into even chunks.
- Place the potato chunks into a large pot, covering them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring the pot to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are simmering, gently warm the heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well in a colander to remove all water.
- Transfer the drained potatoes back into the dry pot, and mash them to your desired consistency.
- Gradually add the warm cream and butter mixture to the potatoes, stirring continuously.
- Next, stir in the CBD oil until it’s well combined with the potatoes. Remember, the key to a successful infusion is to ensure the CBD oil is thoroughly mixed in.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to your liking.
- Transfer your CBD-infused mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped chives. Serve warmly.
