4 servings
- 2 lbs (about 4 medium) yukon gold or russet potatoes
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Ingredient noteBlack pepper can worsen reflux in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (less than 1/8 teaspoon per serving) is likely tolerated by many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
Ingredient noteThough high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of butter (~1 1/2 teaspoons per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola or sunflower oil), divided
Instructions
- 1
Place the whole, unpeeled potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until a skewer meets firm resistance about 1 inch in from the surface but the center is still raw, about 12–15 minutes — the potatoes should be about halfway cooked through. Drain and let cool completely, then refrigerate uncovered for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Peel the cold parboiled potatoes. Using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating disc, grate the potatoes into a large bowl. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper and toss gently to distribute.
