This mustard mash recipe is a tangy and flavourful twist on classic mashed potatoes. Perfect with sausages, roast chicken, or grilled steak!
I took inspiration for the mustard mash recipe from The Humble Spud recipe book published way back in 2002! I think I've probably had it as long as that. The book has loads of delicious recipes using potatoes...soups, salads, different types of mash, sides and mains. There's so many to choose from! This mash recipe is one of the mains served with griddled sausages and onions.
The end result is a lovely smooth mash with a nice subtle mustard flavour that will go really well as a side to pork, chicken or beef.
We enjoy this mustard mash recipe with sausages with caramelised onion gravy. It also goes really well with pork chops with tomato and smoked paprika butter and rosemary chicken.
Tips
- Dairy-free option - use plant-based butter for a vegan version.
- Herbs and spices - try chopped chives or thyme to replace the parsley for a different burst of freshness. A pinch of nutmeg will enhance the depth of flavour.
- Add cheese - stir in some grated cheddar, parmesan or gruyere for an extra layer of richness.
- Leftovers - turn leftover mash into crispy potato cakes by pan-frying them in butter. Alternatively, use as a topping for shepherd's pie or mix into soups for added creaminess.
- This mustard mash recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
