Hi everyone :)
I very rarely do mash potato as a side as my kids don't like it much. I mostly use on top of cottage/shepards pie or very rarely with a meat/veg meal so I am not a good potato buyer!
Which are the best potato to use in the tmx EDC recipe? I bought Charisma ( the low gi ones ) as that is all my local supermarket had late one night. I used them and they were tasty but kind of gluey :( Or is there a better recipe?
Also if using 1/2 potato 1/2 sweet potato does it matter which potato?
Can you use 1/2 potato 1/2 cauliflower? My kids love cauliflower mash/purée.
Sorry for so many questions in the one post ;)
Thanks in advance :)

Try the red skinned potato Bec. I cook my potatoes in the steaming basket on varoma temp until well cooked then add them back to the bowl with the butterfly in place, add a knob of butter, S & P and mix for a few seconds on speed 4. If it's to thick I then add a bit of milk but too much. Sometimes, depending on the potato, it doesn't need any milk added at all.
I would use slightly more white potato to sweet potato and with cauli/potato mash, equal quantities then mash with a knob of butter and add some grated parmesan cheese.

Thanks Judy.

Carisma aren't great for mash. Try cream delight or Desiree instead.

I would always use King Edward or Maris Piper :)

Any floury potato will do for mash (King Edward is tops) - the waxy varieties produce gluey mash. Good luck.
