Creamy Mash

Turn a basic mashed potato into a rich and creamy vegetable mash, just by adding some celeriac, pumpkin, or parsnip. 

Serves 4.
Prep Time: 15 minutes.
Cooking Time: 15 minutes.

Ingredients

• Use either 1 celeriac or 450g pumpkin flesh or 450g parsnip
• 600g Lady Crystal potatoes, peeled
• 60ml (1/4 cup) cream
• Knob of butter
• 25g (1/4 cup) grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Cooking Instructions

• Peel all vegetables. Chop into large chunks.
• Cook potatoes in salted water until tender. At the same time, but in a separate pan, cook your other choice of vegetable until tender. Drain well.
• Heat the cream to just below boiling point. Set aside.
• Return the largest of the pans used to a very low heat.
• Add all the vegetables and the butter. Leave over the heat for about 30 seconds, shaking the pan to evaporate off any remaining cooking water.
• Remove from the heat. Mash well until creamy smooth.
• Stir in the hot cream. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the parmesan cheese for an even richer mash.
