I am looking for ideas for flavouring mashed potatoes - to go with canon of lamb. I have a brilliant indian recipe for marsala mash but it too powerful for this dish. Steve

Hi Steve

How about keeping it simple? Wholegrain mustard stirred through the mash?

MrsWW

How about adding some mint sauce/jelly to your mashed potatoes.
Depending on what I'm serving it with, sometimes I'll saute some spring onions in some olive oil, or even some finely chopped chilli and some finely chopped ginger ( again sauted in olive oil ) to the mash.
It's really yummy - and also it alows you to just serve just mash without everyone saying - Not mash again!!!

olive oil and fresh finely chopped rosemary with a touch of seasoning compliments!!

For canon of lamb I would go for the mint or a lightly flavoured garlic mash with lots of butter and black pepper.

Grate some nutmeg into your mash. It gives it a wonderfully perfumed taste.
OR
Substitute celeriac or parsnip for some of the potato.

poached pear rosmery and black pudding mash or white truffle oil mash mix half mash and half roasted parsnip with honey and rosmery top with sauteed onion grated stale bread and melted butter put in metal ring and bake hope this helps

How about just having some chives through it.
Simple and quick to do.

Steve,another one to consider is celeriac mash,gives a subtle kick to mash also,add a little olive oil.
