Ingredients:

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
72g
1/3 cup lemon juice
63g
5 potatoes
1000g
1/4 cup butter
54g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1/3 cup chives
13g

Instructions:

1. Prep Sun-Dried Tomatoes:
- 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.
2. Boil the Potatoes:
- 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.
3. Drain and Mash Potatoes:
- 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.
4. Incorporate the Butter and Milk:
- 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.
5. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Chives:
- 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.
6. Season and Serve:
- 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.
