Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Soak the sun-dried tomatoes in the lemon juice for at least 30 minutes to rehydrate them. This helps to make them softer and infuses them with a nice tangy flavor. Set aside.
- While the tomatoes are soaking, peel and cut the potatoes into equal-sized chunks. This ensures that they cook evenly.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are done, drain them thoroughly in a colander and return them to the pot. Let them sit in the pot for a minute or so to dry out any excess moisture.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer until they reach your desired consistency.
- Add the butter to the hot mashed potatoes, mixing until it's fully melted and incorporated.
- Gradually add the milk while continuing to mash and mix until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. You can adjust the milk quantity to get your desired consistency.
- Drain the sun-dried tomatoes from the lemon juice and chop them into small pieces.
- Fold the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and the finely chopped chives into the mashed potatoes. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mash.
- Taste your mash and add salt and pepper as needed to enhance the flavors.
- Serve the sun-dried tomato and chive potato mash warm as a delightful side dish to your favorite main course.
Tips:
- For more flavor, try using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil. Make sure to drain the excess oil before adding them to the mash.
- If you prefer a richer mash, you can use whole milk or even cream instead of 1% milk.
- For an extra creamy texture, you can use a potato ricer or food mill after boiling the potatoes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and consider garnishing with a few extra chopped chives for a fresh look.
- Consider warming the milk and butter before adding them to the potatoes for a smoother blend.
Enjoy your Sun-dried Tomato and Chive Potato Mash, a side dish that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary with its vibrant flavors and creamy texture. It pairs beautifully with a variety of main courses, from grilled meats to vegetarian dishes, making it a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire.
