Also - that's a helluva lot of puree for one plate, otc, both the asparagus or potato, in general and of each. If you're gonna use the asparagus as a sauce, then use only that kind of amount.
Yeah, it was too much puree really...but I was using the asparagus as a sauce (I actually wanted to eat the the aspragas!). I like the idea of keeping the tips out...Would give me a vegetable with some texture and let me eat more of the asparagus without having to drown the plate in the puree.
I might need to get a food processor or a squeeze type ricer (since my foley food mill would definitely not do much to the blanched cauliflower in SField's recipe) before I do more of this sort of thing.
