Minoo made Mash Potatoes as a side to go along with the Cheesy Fish and Spinach Casserole. Everyone has their own way of flavouring Mash Potatoes and Minoo’s recipe is flavoured with shallots and garlic.
Minoo’s Mash Potatoes is creamy and fragrant and a little garlicky. It is garnished with green onions. You may substitute the garnish with chives instead. This recipe serves 6.
Ingredients
- 6 medium potatoes, peel and cube
- 4 medium shallots, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- green onion (green part only) or chives, chopped for garnishing
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil
- pinch of nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- milk
Instructions
One thing I have been doing to make mashed potatoes more nutritious is to steam the cut potatoes. The mashed potatoes taste the same, but more vitamins are preserved.
If I do boil potatoes, I save the water for soup. I freeze chicken wing tips and backs as I get them, and throw them in the water with carrots, celery tops and onion to simmer for an hour or so. Have to add chicken feet if you want yellow soup, though! (or turmeric powder…)
