These are the mashed potatoes for a memorable, modern holiday menu. Spiciness comes at the end of each bite, and the flavor builds so it’s best to start at the lower range of gochujang and taste first before adding more. The potatoes are cooked in stock, and don’t need draining so all that savory flavor is a delicious foundation for the sweet heat.

Prep & Cook Instructions

Add potatoes, stock, salt and pepper to a 6-qt. Dutch oven. Bring stock to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cover and boil 10 minutes. Stir to redistribute pieces so firmer ones on top are in the stock on the bottom of the pan. Cover and simmer another 10 minutes. Potatoes should be fork-tender. Remove lid and simmer up to 5 minutes, until most of liquid is gone. DO NOT DRAIN.
Add butter, 2 Tbsp. syrup and 2 Tbsp. gochujang; use a potato masher to mash until well combined. Beat on high speed with an electric mixer 1 or 2 minutes for smoother potatoes. Taste and adjust flavor by adding more gochujang and/or syrup in small increments, if desired.
Serve topped with more syrup, black pepper, bacon and chives.
