- THE PERFECT MASHED POTATO WITH JOEL ROBUCHON’ S RECIPE
Mashed potatoes were popularised by the French CHEF of the Century Joël Robuchon, who used The RATTE Potatoes to make his famous, creamy, smooth pomme purée. For the sake of his mashed potatoes, people booked a table in the restaurant for weeks.
Robuchon earned no fewer than 32 Michelin stars across 13 countries during his lifetime, making him the man with the most Michelin stars in the world.
Joel Robuchon is called the Master of mashed potatoes. Its principles: only high-quality products, simplicity of the recipe.
What is the secret?
Here is the secret of the apparently simple recipe of the famous dish. All in the choice of potatoes.
There are several versions. Here is one.
Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
500g of potatoes.
The type of potato to use is crucial. (Depending of the Country) Chef Robuchon in France used the RATTE POTATOES A waxy type of potato, with a Yellow flesh and a nutty flavor, the top of the top.
In Australia I use a similar one the: KIPFLER.
In the US and Canada I will recommend the YUKON GOLD.
150 g of good butter unsalted (Chef Robuchon used a ratio of 1 to 2 (250 g of butter)
I only add 150g for me I found it already very rich,
150 mls of good fresh milk.
5 g of cooking salt.
1 or 2 g of extra table salt at the end to adjust the seasoning.
AND THAT IS IT. SIMPLE, SIMPLE, SIMPLE.
But no one can stop you to add, cheese, garlic, black pepper, Nutmeg, rosemary etc.
The version I will present is the closest as the one of the Master.
You will notice the difference is we won’t peel the potatoes in advance or cut in small pieces before cooking in boiling water.
Method of the Master Joel Robuchon:
1-Wash the potatoes but do not peel them. Cooking potatoes with the skin will limit them from becoming watery.
2-Put them in a saucepan and cover with 1 litre of cold water. Add 2 large pinches of cooking salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes or until a knife slips in the potatoes easily and cleanly.
3-When the potatoes are cooked, drain them and peel straight away. In order not to get burned, hold the potatoes with tongs or a fork, or use gloves or a tea towel.
4-When peeled pass them through a potato ricer or use a potato masher like I did. Finish to pass the mashed potato through a fine mesh sieve in the pan that was used to cook them.
5- Dry out the potatoes by putting the pan back on the minimum heat to remove the remaining moisture. It takes about 5 minutes and you have to stir constantly with a wooden spoon.
6-Bring the milk to a simmer, stop the heat and set aside.
Add the butter to the saucepan in small parcels and stir until it is well integrated into the potatoes. Add the milk in a little stream while stirring. At the end use a small and rigid whisk and mix vigorously well until you obtain a glossy mashed potato. Add salt if needed. For an even lighter, finer purée, put it through a very fine sieve before serving.
You have done your best Mashed potato in the World. Congratulations.
These Mashed potatoes are a family favorite.
They are the ultimate comfort dish that goes with everything and is so simple to make.
Enjoy your meal. Bon Appétit.

I spend $30 for a pound of these potatoes in order to grow them in my garden this year. I did not know about the boil-with-the-skin-on technique. I will try that come fall. Thanks!
Sounds great! Thank you very much Gene for this great comment that readers may all plant this special variety in their garden. I am considering to do the same thanks for the hint. 🎖️🏆🗼👄👍😁
Wonderful, explanations are perfect! I have not seen written detailed recipe with ingredients and process description for ages. Really respectful and caring for audience you are, dear Chef Garbe! With kind regards and appreciation, Yelena
Mr Nick I am so grateful for your great comment on my Mashed potato video. Actually it is the recipe of the Master Joel Robuchon the winner of the best mashed Potato in the World. All the best and with my kind regards. 🥇🥇🗼🗼👨🍳👨🍳🙋♂🙋♂😀😀👍👍👄👄
Greetings from Thornton Colorado USA!!! Although there are arguments and always have been about who has the best chef’s, there is no denying that many modern preparations have a basis in French cuisine. Love your work and videos! Keep up the great content. Cheers.
Thank you Mr Danny for this Great comment. That will certainly encourage me to create more videos. Thank you to be a great supporter on my humble Channel. I hope every thing is OK in Colorado now we saw the devastation. I have a lot of friends in USA. My God father was from Cleveland and I my first visit to USA was in 1966. it is a while now , but i kept such a great souvenir. Went Back since a few time for short visits. Have a Great Weekend. 🗼🍾🏅🏆👍👍👍👄

Thank you so much from the Netherlands. Your clear instructions made this easy to follow.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you very much Peter for your great comment on my UA-cam, Channel. It is a very nice compliment I hope other viewers will enjoy this special video too. Have a Great Year 2023. I hope you may like some of my other 70 videos. Kindest Regards. 👍🏆🏅😊🍾👄
@@TheFrenchChef it tasted so lovely! Pushing 1kg of cooked ratte through the sieve was that hardest part 😄 it’s amazing how much butter and milk the potatoes can absorb.
I’ll be sure to check out your other techniques
Dear Mr Peter I am so Happy to see my viewers writing to me in the comment section, especially after cooking and enjoying my recipes. All comments are also very important for every viewer. Thanks again and BON APPETIT. Thank you very much for following me. Cheers 👍😁😊🗼🏆🏅🍾👄
I ... have never seen La Ratte potatoes of that shape, but i will look for Yukons. And using a sieve, good advice
I agree boiling the potato with skin on is the best . After I use your ingredients but i blend with the hand electrical cake beaters . My days are over for mashing potato by hand . Comes out the same and alot easier !
Thank you so much Victoria for your participation in the mashed potatoe recipe. Your idea of using the electric beater retained my attention. A great way to help my viewers to sample this great Recipe of Master Joel Robuchon. Have a wonderful week and all my compliments. The French Chef Gerard. 🏅🗼🍾😊🏆👍👄👄👄
genius
It is a great help. Very genius. ♥️🎉🌲🥂💋
@@TheFrenchChef Gerard at Christmas, I stumbled on another genius tip ! Instead of boiling the potatoes with skin on I MICROWAVED them with skin on for 5 minutes because i was in a hurry . Then I used your recipe milk salt blackpepper butter grated garlic but I put a pinch of sugar . Then I blended them hot with the hand electrical cake beater . Scream ! This is the best of ALL ! I love it yes blended with the skin on ! You HAVE to try it Gerard ! So so good ! Thank you for your great recipe !
Thank you, Victoria. I love your comments and It' s true that using the microwave can save precious time. I have to try it myself. Thank you very much for contributing to Improvements and new methods. Enjoy the new year with plenty of great innovations. 🍾🍾🗼🏆👍🏅👄👄
Using a food mill makes them fluffier and smoother. It may seem redundant but it really does so much for the potatoes
Well done George I am glad you gave me your view on my videos. Your comment was very interesting. Cheers. 👄🗼😀👨🍳🙋♂️🥇
Oh my gosh, the perfect potatoes!
Thank you Mrs Sammy , This recipe is my most popular. so far. Thanks for commenting too. It is amazing .🏅🍾🏆👄🗼

Great job
Thank Mr Beau _ I am glad you appreciate this video like 22 000 other people did. That encourage me to do more cooking and sharing my experience with young ones. Cheers have a gret week end. 🏆🗼🏅🍾👄🎖️
Just made this! Came out exceptional, I used a little less butter than what the recipe called for, but the texture was still spot on, and all because this morning I found these ratte potatoes and was looking for something to do with them. Thanks for this!
Great to hear Mr JonathanD,. That's Great to see my viewers doing those recipes. Congratulations to you for making the effort to cook this mashed potato and CONGRATULATIONS for the good result. Jonathan Have a Fantastic Week end. 👍🏆🗼👄
I did this once a few years ago. even borrowed my friends hand crank mill to get the texture perfect. I taste tested it vs my normal roasted potatoes. Even though my normal mashed potatoes were not as silky, I enjoyed the stronger potato flavor. In addition for the extra effort it took to make this style of mashed potatoes you can make fondant, which to me is superior to any mashed potatoes.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing. I love it to see a little bit of participation in my recipes. Thanks a gain for commenting Mr AAblade 7 ! have a Great day. 👍🗼👨🍳🥇🍽️👄

Kinda looks like a sweet potato. That is also the way we boil sweet potato in philippines
Thank for your comment Minongvaper. It is great to see comments posted from Philippines. Have a great day and thank you for following the channel: the French Chef. Cheers Gerard 👨🍳👨🍳🙋♂️🗼🥇👄👄
As a student with limited economy, the mashed potatoes have become a stable for me, and I am trying to perfect it. I will not be able to afford this potato often, but I will go as vaxy as possible.
Lovely video, very enjoyable!
Thank you sam . Great comment and thank you for following me on you tube-i hope your study will finalise and you will be able to afford one day the meal if your dream may be on my channel😀😀😀👍👍👍💋Cheers
How many grams of butter and milk?
Good morning Alex .Sorry for late answer was travelling in no reception Zone preparing a cooking recipe in the australian out back. to answer your question how much butter and milk ( the Master Joel Robuchon used a ratio of one to 2 butter milk ( For my recipe I reduced the amount of butter. 150g of butter with 150g of milk that is rich enough. Thank for asking. Alway here to help my audience. Have a Great WeekEnd.😀
Why not use a hand mixer while incorporating the milk and butter.why the extra steps? My mom always used a hand mixer..
Thank You Mrs None None for your great comment. Of course you can use and hand mixer for mashed potatoe, but with this type of potato who are a little bit more compact you have to use definitely a strong wooden spalula at the beginning of the mixing. When the mashed potato become more flexible then I will suggest you can use your hand mixer. I appreciate your comment. Enjoy your week end. 😊👍🏆🗼👄
I KNEW I DIDN'T USE TOO MUCH BUTER!
Thank you very much Akinori for your kind comment. Cheers. 👨🍳🗼🙋♂️🥇👄
There’s no “e” in potato.
Thank you so much to notice that bad mistake. printing error. Will rectifie soon. Cheers 🙋♂️😀👨🍳👄
That to me is not good looking mashed potato. To me a good mashed potato is fluffy and not silky. But that's just me. THe secrets for the perfect mashed potatoes. Don't under cook them. Drain and put back in the pot with low heat and move them around to get all remaining humidity out. Warm up the milk or cream (whatever your choice, I use cream) before adding to the potatoes. If using milk, use whole milk.
Fair enough! Thank you very much Gonzalo for your comment and point of view. I agree with you 100%. This video was mainly to show how Joel Robuchon Won the price in France: THE BEST POTATO IN THE WORLD with Ratte potato ( I must admit is delicious) When you see the amount of butter it is sure so silky. Not for everyday food. That is the type of food you may find in 3 stars restaurant of for some very very special occasion. Mr Gonzalo have a Great Year 2023. Cheers 👍👍👍🎖️🏆🗼😊🍾
@@TheFrenchChef you know, I am going to try this recipe. I need to broden my horizons and explore new things. Thank you Chef!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH GONZALO for trying this mashed potato recipe one day. I am not to sure in which country you reside. Your best choice of potato of course will be LA RATTE who has this nutty flavor. LA RATTE is an Heirloom Potato that French Chefs adore and is available now in the US. If no La Rate the second choice is the YUKUN GOLD.
In Australia I found the KIPFLER at Woolworth that was delicious. Let me know your experience. Have a great Experience, Cheers.🏆👍🎖️🗼🍾🎯👄
That is a Purée de Pomme de Terre, not mashed potatoes. Much more refined food than anything made in America.
Thanks for your comment. alway happy to read them. Cheers
thanks
