Rocks

So we are making "rocks" at work. The marble potato ones from Mugaritz. What is the lactose doing? I have to say they are not too tasty.

and why don't we cook the potatoes at a low temp first to set the starch and the cook them at 190 to make a smooth gel on the inside?

I think it's added to the clay mix as a filler to give it some bulkiness. That clay is pretty commonly consumed in the south (GA, SC) as white clay. Those mud masks that women get in the spa are made from that stuff too.

The Kaolin clay is an aquired taste. I thought the dish was pretty neat when I first had it at Mugaritz, but not something I want to eat all the time. I think the lactose is mostly giving it some dairy sweetness to make it more pleasant to eat.

The clay is used for cosmetics, but I'm asking about the lactose. If you are saying it increases the viscosity, then i'm not sure about that.

@Chris I see. I also thought it was way under seasoned.

What is this recipe? I've never even heard of this dish. Can you tell me other recipes for potatoes? Which one is your favorite which you cook most often https://bestapp.asia/? Maybe there are some original recipes?? Most of all, I like potato pancakes and mashed potatoes. And also baked potatoes with meat or other vegetables...
