It's just over 2 weeks until Burns Night and up until today there isn't a recipe for mashed potatoes (the tatties element of haggis, neeps and tatties) here on Felly Bull...well there is now, and here it is...
This is my own recipe that i've made for years...mashed potatoes, or mashed tatties as we call them in our house, must be smooth, seasoned well and have a creamy buttery taste...and that's what you should end up with following my recipe!
It's such a versatile comforting side dish that goes with so many dishes - as well as making it to go with your Burns supper, give it a try with our chicken balmoral with whisky sauce, sausages with caramelised onion gravy, pork chops with tomato and smoked paprika butter and our rosemary chicken.
