Notes
Kala Namak Salt - This sulfuric salt is where the eggy flavor comes from. Blend about 3/4 teaspoon into your mix and serve with extra on the side if you find you prefer a more eggy scent.
Starchy Water - Save 1/2 cup of the water from boiling the potatoes, the starches will help with the final silky texture of the yolks.
Olive Oil - This is when you want to reach for your good cold pressed extra virgin, egg yolks are fatty and rich and the olive oil will provide that while delivering the silkiest emulsion for your taste buds. ( you can omit the oil of course to make it WFPB but the yolks won't be as rich).
Waxy Potatoes - These make the ideal blank canvas to work with. They have a silky, moist and creamy texture when cooked and blend beautifully into a luxurious custardy emulsion. I used Yukon gold but any waxy potato will work, remember to peel and rinse them well.
