Herbed potato mash

Herbed potato mash is a delightful twist on the classic mashed potatoes. This recipe incorporates the fresh flavors of dill, parsley, and chives, making it a perfect side dish for any meal. Simple yet sophisticated, this dish elevates the humble potato to new heights.

Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
1/2 cup butter
110g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1 tbsp dill
16g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
2 tbsp chives
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
a. Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.

2. Boil the Potatoes:
a. Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water.
b. Add a pinch of salt to the water (optional for flavor).
c. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
d. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Drain and Mash the Potatoes:
a. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess water to evaporate.
b. Return the potatoes to the pot or a large mixing bowl.
4. Add Butter:
a. Add the butter to the hot potatoes.
b. Using a potato masher or electric mixer, mash the potatoes until they are smooth and the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
5. Incorporate Milk:
a. Gradually add the milk to the mashed potatoes, mixing well after each addition until the desired consistency is reached.
b. Continue mashing until the potatoes are creamy and smooth.
6. Add Herbs:
a. Finely chop the dill, parsley, and chives.
b. Stir the herbs into the mashed potatoes until evenly distributed.
7. Season and Serve:
a. Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
b. Serve the Herbed Potato Mash hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.

Tips:

- Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the creamiest mash.

- Boil the potatoes with the skins on to prevent them from becoming waterlogged, then peel after cooking.

- Heat the milk and butter together before adding to the potatoes to keep the mash warm and smooth.

- Mash the potatoes by hand or use a potato ricer for the fluffiest texture; avoid using a blender as it can make the potatoes gluey.

- Adjust the amount of herbs according to your taste preference for a personalized touch.

With a few simple ingredients and some fresh herbs, you can transform regular mashed potatoes into something extraordinary. Herbed potato mash is creamy, flavorful, and sure to be a hit at your dinner table. Enjoy this versatile side dish with your favorite main course for a complete and satisfying meal.
