Pea potato mash is a delightful twist on the classic mashed potatoes. This recipe combines the earthy flavors of potatoes with the fresh, vibrant notes of peas and parsley, creating a side dish that's both comforting and refreshing. Perfect for any meal, this mash pairs wonderfully with meats, fish, or can be enjoyed on its own.
Instructions:
- Start by peeling and chopping the potatoes into evenly-sized chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
- Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the peas. If using fresh peas, you can add them to the pot with the potatoes during the last 3-5 minutes of cooking. If using frozen peas, simply defrost them according to package instructions.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and the peas in a colander.
- Return the potatoes to the pot and add the butter. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
- Add the warm milk gradually, stirring as you go, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Gently fold the cooked peas into the mashed potatoes.
- Add the finely chopped parsley leaves and mix until everything is well combined.
- Season the mash with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the pea and parsley potato mash hot, either as a standalone dish or as a side to your favorite entree.
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a creamier texture.
- Make sure to cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender to ensure a smooth mash.
- Thaw frozen peas before adding them to the potatoes for easier mashing.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a teaspoon of lemon zest when mashing the potatoes.
- Garnish with extra chopped parsley or fresh peas for a visually appealing presentation.
