Mashed Potatoes - Recipe Review - Fast and Easy Cooking (UK)

[teagg]

Again, for me, another excellent recipe from this cookbook.

I do vary the recipe according to my guests - some prefer a more liquid mash (what I would call 'Kartoffelbrei') and then I follow the liquid components; my husband however prefers firmer mash, and so I tend to leave out the stock liquid... and just use the quantity of milk given.

I have done the recipe without using the butterfly - it's a rather lumpy delight - but it's still lovely.

So - for a simple mash - there are various options!!

I find this a really easy recipe too and I've learned the importance of making sure the potatoes are well cooked else the texture is a bit gloopy.

I use various different things - sometimes olive oil and water in place of butter & milk, sometimes horseradish, sometimes add spring onions.  It all depends what I am serving the potatoes with.
