MASHED POTATOES RECIPE - NYT COOKING
Mashed potatoes are very forgiving, and with a good masher, hot potatoes and enough butter and salt, cooks can accommodate religionists of the fluffy style and partisans of the creamy and dense. Be openhanded with salt and butter but stingy with milk, which will flatten out the bright, earthy potato taste. (And for everything you need to know to make perfect potatoes, visit our potato guide.)

Steps:
- In a large pot, bring a gallon of water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil over high heat. Peel and quarter potatoes and keep in cold water until ready to cook. (This can be done up to 4 hours in advance.) Add potatoes to boiling water and boil about 15 to 20 minutes, until soft; a knife should go in with almost no resistance. (It is better to overcook than to undercook.)
- In a saucepan or a microwave oven, heat butter and milk together until butter melts and mixture steams. Drain potatoes well and return to pot. Shake them around in the hot pan or over very low heat for a minute (you want dry potatoes). Using an extruding masher or a ricer, mash hot potatoes until smooth, about 2 minutes. Lightly mix in about half of hot butter mixture, just until blended. Taste for salt and add more butter mixture until seasoned to your liking.
- Stop here for fluffy potatoes. For creamy potatoes, keep stirring potato mixture, using a sturdy spoon to press it against sides and bottom of pot. Mix until dense and thick. For whipped potatoes, use a stand mixer to mash hot potatoes just until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add all the butter mixture and salt to taste, pulsing machine in short bursts at medium speed. When light and creamy, stop mixing immediately. (Potatoes can quickly become sticky.)
- To keep hot until ready to serve, transfer to serving bowl, dot top with butter, cover tightly and keep in a warm place, like the back of the stove. Potatoes will stay hot for at least 30 minutes. To keep longer, place covered bowl in a pan holding about an inch of gently simmering water. Before serving, mix well.

While the cauliflower and potato are still hot, mash them together until the mixture is smooth (use a potato ricer if you have one). Mix in the flour, Parmesan, salt and pepper. 4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the eggs. Mix well to combine. Divide into three even pieces. 5. Dust a clean work surface lightly with cornstarch and then roll a third of the dough into a long rope that's about � inch thick. Cut the rope into �-inch pieces. 6. Roll each piece across the tines of a fork to create ridges. Set aside on a cornstarch-dusted baking sheet. 7. Make the Pomodoro Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saut� until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and saut� until fragrant, about 1 minute. 8. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer; season with salt and pepper. Mix in the red-pepper flakes and simmer until good flavor develops, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the butter and Parmesan. 9. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi to the pot and cook until they float to the surface, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain well. 10. Toss the drained gnocchi in the sauce until well coated. Divide among plates and garnish with basil.

HOW TO COOK CAULIFLOWER - NYT COOKING
From cooking.nytimes.com
- Once you have a few of the most popular preparations of cauliflower down, you can explore some of the more obscure ways to make it. Here are a few more ways to turn your cauliflower into something truly special.The flavor of raw cauliflower isn’t much to write home about, but if you’re a fan of crunchy vegetables for dipping, you might consider including tiny florets in your next crudité platter. Broken down in a food processor or finely chopped, raw cauliflower has also been known to take the place of grains for those abstaining. For a tabbouleh-esque dish, dress finely chopped raw cauliflower with a ton of freshly chopped herbs (parsley, cilantro, mint would be good), lots of acid (fresh lemon or lime juice or a mild vinegar), olive oil, some finely grated garlic, maybe a chopped cucumber or two and a good amount of salt and pepper. Cauliflower doesn’t absorb flavors as quickly raw as it does cooked, so let it sit for a few minutes and reseason before serving. Cauliflower is a key ingredient in the popular sweet-tangy-spicy pickled condiment piccalilli, but it can also be pickled on its own in a simple vinegar brine. The vegetable’s cruciferous aroma tends to be enhanced when pickled, but the flavor is actually quite mellow and will absorb any aromatics, like mustard seeds, crushed garlic and turmeric. Use small florets in place of cucumbers in any pickling recipe.Deep-fried cauliflower is fantastic for obvious reasons (Crunchy bits! A golden-brown exterior!), but perhaps most practically, it doesn’t need to be battered or coated before being thrown into a pot of hot oil. It can be deep fried, then tossed in a spicy sauce (à la Buffalo cauliflower) or dipped into any sauce of your choosing. To fry cauliflower, fill a medium pot about halfway with neutral oil and bring it to 375 degrees. Working in batches and using a slotted spoon, drop florets into the hot oil and fry until deeply golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.Cauliflower is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a vegetable to turn into sauce or soup. It becomes incredibly creamy, tasting like you’ve added a quart of cream, even if there’s no dairy. To purée cauliflower, simmer florets in chicken or vegetable stock (of course, you can also use milk, if you want) until the cauliflower is extremely tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer cauliflower to a blender, along with enough of the cooking liquid to get the blender going. How much more cooking liquid you add depends on your taste: Less will give you a thick purée for serving beneath roasted chicken or braised short ribs; more will give you a silky soup for topping with croutons and chopped herbs.
