This Lobster Mashed Potatoes recipe is not only incredibly easy, but totally jaw-dropping. If you’re looking for the best lobster mashed potato recipe, you’ve found it!
Yes, you read that right. Lobster mashed potatoes.
Helloooo hedonism.
There was a great steakhouse back in Ohio that had these killer lobster mashed potatoes. It had never occurred to me that those to things should (or could) be combined, but once they touched my lips I wondered why all mashed potatoes didn’t have succulent chunks of lobster in them.
With my beef tenderloin on Valentine’s Day, I wanted to do something with lobster, but something more special than just a broiled or grilled lobster tail. The memory of those potatoes popped into my head and I knew I had my answer. One problem. I hadn’t eaten them in like 2 years and had only a vague inkling of what they tasted like. Even after a little Googling, I couldn’t find an actual copycat for Hyde Park’s potatoes. I looked at what some other places did and set out to do a little experimenting, while hoping for the best.
Oh. My.
I can’t even begin to explain how utterly amazing these are. I’m not going to say that they’re low fat or low-cal, but I think at this point you all know that I don’t particularly live my life that way. They were SO good, in fact, that our friend came out of the bedroom the next morning and said,
“Hey, would you mind if I heated up a bowl of those potatoes for breakfast? I had a dream about them.”
I think that’s a good sign.
How to make these creamy Lobster Mashed Potatoes
These mashed potatoes are beaten with boursin, a soft, garlic-and-herb flecked cheese that helps make these potatoes super creamy. The sauce that gets poured over the top is seasoned with Old Bay and chili powder, then freshened up with a hit of chives, and the whole thing is stirred together tableside.

1 1/2TOld Bay seasoning

Peel and dice the potatoes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until fork tender. Drain, then return to the pan over medium heat. Using a potato masher or wooden spoon, roughly mash the potatoes for 1 minute to remove the excess water that remains.

In a small saute pan over medium heat, melt together the butter and cream. Add the Old Bay, chili powder and lobster pieces and stir to combine. Sprinkle with the chives.

Hi there, looks like something went a little screwy with the formatting for some reason. It should read 1/2-3/4 cup milk. I just add milk until the potatoes are creamy, and it seems to vary between those two amounts. 🙂

you will use 1/2 cup of milk or 3/4 cup of milk depends on the consistency you want your mashed potatoes you to decide once you are mashing them…

Do you cook the lobster first then poach it?

I do not, I think it would probably end up overcooked.

4 Tips From Martha's Mom for the Best Mashed Potatoes
Cook the potatoes just so, do not under or overcook them: the potatoes are done when you can slide a paring knife in with no resistance. Let the potatoes dry before mashing: Once they are boiled, drain and let them sit in the pan they cooked in for a minute or two.
The sauce is made from the lobster shells that are first simmered in heavy cream. Once that has simmered you will remove the shells and season with parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice and seasonings. This Lobster butter sauce can be served over spaghetti, fettuccini or really any type of pasta.
I recommend microwaving them in short bursts of 20–30 seconds, stirring them after each interval. Alternatively, you could reheat them on a stovetop in a saucepan with a bit of butter or milk. Make sure that the mashed potatoes reach an internal temperature of 165°F before consuming.
Heavy Cream - While you, hypothetically, could use whole milk or something, I don't recommend it. Part of what makes these the creamiest mashed potatoes is the CREAM! Use the cream, we aren't eating mashed potatoes for our health. Sour Cream - This recipe is rich and it needs some tanginess for balance.
This lobster butter sauce combines butter, lemon, and garlic to create a delicious concoction for dipping steamed or grilled (or however you prepare it) lobster.
The tomalley is a lobster's digestive gland, sort of like a cross between a liver and a pancreas. It is 100% safe to eat, some even consider it a delicacy! It has strong, concentrated lobster flavor and can be eaten as is, used in compound butter, whisked into sauces, etc. White stuff=hemolymph.
Langostino is a particular type of crustacean that looks like a small lobster. Many people assume that langostino are small lobsters. But langoustine belongs to a different species than lobster. In appearance, they look like lobsters, but they are about the size of a large prawn.
Restaurant offerings for lobster rolls range from 600 to 1440 calories and 34 to 98 grams of fat per serving! Lobster certainly isn't the problem: 3 ounces of cooked lobster meat contains 83 calories, 1 gram of fat and 17 grams of protein.
1 Serving of baked potato with butter and sour cream (Red Lobster) contains 310 Calories. The macronutrient breakdown is 58% carbs, 42% fat, and 0% protein.
Mashed potatoes kept in the fridge should be thrown away if not used after 72 hours. That is the practice adhered to in most restaurants. Some will use it for an extra 24 hours if there's alot left but after that it is no longer fit to be used.
If food has been hygienically prepared, cooled quickly after cooking (or reheating) and stored cold, reheating more than once should not increase the risk of illness. But prolonged storage and repeated reheating will affect the taste, texture, and sometimes the nutritional quality of foods.
You also can transfer the potatoes to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the setup in Step 5, but add an ⅛-inch layer of milk over the cold, flat top of the potatoes and stir the potatoes every 10 minutes to help them reheat evenly.
Place potatoes and 2 tablespoons salt in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water by 2 inches, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat cream, milk, and butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter melts.
The secret weapon, a good potato ricer (affiliate). This pushes the potatoes into strings, which helps them soak up every bit of the cream and achieve maximum fluffliness.
