Lobster Mashed Potatoes

Lobster Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:
2 to 3 (8 oz.) lobster tails
1 cup half and half
2 T. chopped fresh tarragon
3 lbs. Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 inch 

   pieces 
6 T. unsalted butter, cut into pieces.

Directions
Cook lobster in a large pot of simmering salted water just until opaque in center, about 7 minutes. Using tongs, transfer lobster to work surface and cool slightly, reserving water in pot and letting it cool down. Remove lobster meat from shell and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces.

Bring half and half to a simmer in a medium saucepan and add lobster meat and tarragon; cover and set aside.

Add potatoes to the reserved lobster cooking water and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes. Force potatoes through a ricer into a bowl that contains the butter. Add lobster cream and stir until well mixed together. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Serves 6.
