We first tasted Truffle Oil Mashed Potatoes at The Culinary Center of Kansas City. Their executive chef was preparing a catered meal while we were there prepping for a cooking class. She offered us a bite and we sold on adding a drizzle of truffle oil to Barry's already delicious mashed potatoes that are filled with sour cream, and butter and seasoned with white pepper and paprika.
We made a trip to The Tasteful Olive, right down the street from the Culinary Center, and purchased a bottle of truffle oil. It is expensive but a little goes a long way!
