Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare the Potato Purée (Key for smooth texture)

 Cook & Strain

  • Peel and slice potatoes, boil until tender (~15 mins). Reserve 70g starchy water.

  • Press through a fine sieve while hot—no lumps allowed!

2. Emulsify the Base

 Combine & Heat

  • In a saucepan, whisk together:
     250g potato purée
     70g potato water
     100g cream
     20g olive oil
     1g salt

  • Warm gently to 65°C/150°F (do not boil), stirring until glossy.

3. Charge & Stabilize

 Load the Siphon

  • Pour mixture into siphon, seal, and charge with 1-2 N₂O cartridges.

  • Shake vertically 5 times to integrate gas.

 Hold for Service

  • Keep in a 60°C water bath (foam will stay stable for 2 hours).

  • Dispense with a downward push for tight, cloud-like texture.


Chef’s Notes

 Why potato water? The starch enhances foam stability.
 Siphon hack: For extra volume, use 2 chargers and chill 10 mins before reheating.
 Pairings: Ideal with:

  • Truffle-infused mushroom soup

  • Seared scallops

  • Sous-vide beef tenderloin
