- 500 g (1.1 lb) Maris Piper or King Edward potatoes peeled and cut into equal chunks (halved or quartered, depending on size)
- 35 g (1.2 oz) butter
- 1.5 tsp wholegrain mustard
- 1.5 tsp English mustard
- 1 small clove garlic crushed
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp flat leaf parsley chopped
- a dash of olive oil
Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan of cold water, bring to the boil and add some cooking salt. Cook on a continuous simmer for 15 to 18 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Drain the cooked potatoes well and let them steam dry in a colander over the pan for a 2 minutes.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork. Add the butter, both mustards, and garlic and continue to mash. Season with salt, if needed and black pepper, to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley and a dash of olive oil.
Enjoy as a side with sausages, chops, chicken, beef or lamb.
- 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.
