[Closed] Interesting mash

equal quantities of butter & spuds is jolly nice.

mix the normal potato with either sweet potato or parsnips.... and a good ammount of black pepper

That would be a great idea if I had either of those things. My vegetable stash at the moment is spuds, onions and peppers. I've every herb and spice known to man, though.

I'm guessing you don't have any truffle oil in the cupboard 😉

A puree style made with warm milk and lots of butter then whipped very smooth is nice. Some slightly caramelised onions mixed in is good too.

Beetroot with your spuds bright pink and awesome

Mustard. Mmmm

The caramelised red onion is going in the gravy. (-:

Beetroot you say? That's an idea for next time. Presumably not the pickled variety...

Whole grain mustard or Horseradish

saute some of the onions and pepper in whatever spices will go withh the sausages and then mix into crushed, not mashed, buttered spud. or just have normal spud with a really good caramelised onion gravy (edit beaten to it!)

Mustard. Mmmm

I'm glad you said that, as it was something I was wondering. I've mustard seeds; what would you do with those, dry-fry or just bung 'em in at the end, or grind, or something else? I don't think I've any actual mustard other than the bright yellow American stuff you'd put on hot dogs.

This, goes great with sausages. 8)

cheesy mash ...I miss that and it is proper classy to boot

Allergic to cheese unfortunately.

Cheers for the suggestions so far guys, this is great.

Cocaine FTW.

Olive oil and black pepper is delish
Or avocado and black pepper--alarmingly green but tastes lovely and buttery

Any cheese about that you could grate in? Use an electric whisk instead of a masher for smooth texture. Put in a roasting dish and crisp under the grill?

Dunno really...given what you've got to hand, can't think of much else, sorry.

Oops, just seen the "allergic to cheese" bit. Crossed posts. 😕

Not as classy as cheesy peas JY 😀

Moster Mash

Good luck getting the tune out of your head.

Anyone ever tried cheesey peas?

Squeezy ones? Brilliant.

Incidentally,

Is there anything in cooking quite as satisfying as cooking onions?

Dill is what you want. Compulsory in my house, though it really needs to be fresh not dried.

Sweet corn mash is rather nice. I think house radish mash will be nicer with sausages though.

Do the potatoes in the oven, as per jackets. When done, scoop out the spuds and put them through a potato ricer. Season, then mix with whole milk, butter, grain mustard and grated cheddar. To serve, splosh it on the plate, or back into the skins from whence the spud came.

Poyfectly. (obvs without the cheese for you op)

Cut the onion thinly, downwards, into slivers and fry lightly. Add to mash. It works with leek matchsticks too: both are better if you have some green veg to add, sliced thinly and parboiled. And someone already mentioned carrot already.

Black pepper, but you know that.

Dill is what you want

I never really 'got' dill. Isn't it a fish thing?

And here we go.

KETCHUP YOU PONCE!
BOOM!

EDIT: that bowl you've put it in isn't very well made

Is there anything in cooking quite as satisfying as cooking onions?

Cakes and breads are much more satisfying IMHO

Is that in a Yorkshire pudding?
Nice touch

I don't know if that's a joke or not, but I am [b]so [/b]doing ketchup mash next.

Cooking sausages? Oh wait.....

Nice photo btw, slightly more appetising than my bag of Doritos!

I'll take that to my grave. "Cougar's cooking: slightly more appetising than a bag of Doritos."

Can I take a guess they are [b]not[/b] 97% pork Debbie and Andrew's Harrogate sausages?

I'm going with......Tesco Butcher's choice or equiv price bracket, around £1.80 for 6?

😀

He don't know me very well, do he.

To be fair, I am opening myself up for a lashing. Just looking at the 'finish' to the skin (looks grilled?) and due to shrinkage, prompted my wild generalisation and obviously what is about to be proved, inaccurate guess.

It's quorn innit? 😉

I'm surprised nobody's suggested Stilton and anchovies yet...

he is a veggie so there is no meat

I will guess at Linda mcCartneys as Quorn are greyer

They are grilled, yes.

I never really 'got' dill. Isn't it a fish thing?

It's commonly used with fish as it has quite a delicate flavour. That makes it perfect for mash, since there's nothing overpowering it. I also like miseria (sp?), a simple Polish side dish of cucumber and sour cream with plenty of fresh dill.

Ahhhhh....I've had a few cauldron things in the past; not half bad.
