Ingredients
FOR THE MASHED POTATOES
1 pound Russet or Yukon gold potatoes
½ cup hot milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
FOR THE SCALLOPS
1 pound bay or sea scallops
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 to 4 tablespoons white truffle oil
Preparation
- Step 1
Make the mashed potatoes. Cut the potatoes into two-inch cubes and boil them in salted water or steam them until they are tender.
- Step 2
Scald the milk. Drain the potatoes if boiled and mash them with a potato masher in their cooking pot. Add the milk and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 3
If using sea scallops, cut them in half. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Heat the oil to very hot and briskly seal the scallops so that they brown.
- Step 4
Divide the mashed potatoes among four plates. Divide the scallops into four portions and place them on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle them with truffle oil and serve.
