Mustard Mash
Description
Mustard Mash starts by boiling peeled, cubed potatoes in salted water until tender. After draining, the potatoes are mashed to desired texture and mixed with cold butter, milk, Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, sea salt, and black pepper. The cold butter melts into the hot potatoes, distributing rich fat evenly without overworking starches.
The combined Dijon and wholegrain mustards provide a gentle sharpness and slight texture contrast from mustard seeds, enriching the traditional mash flavor. The dish is creamy but lightly tangy with balanced seasoning.
Mustard Mash pairs well with roasted meats or hearty main courses where it adds interest beyond standard mashed potatoes. Adding finely chopped spring onions or chives can lift the flavor further.
For best texture, avoid over-mashing or using a stick blender, which can make mash gluey. Allow cooked potatoes to steam dry briefly before mashing to prevent excess wateriness. Season after mashing so salt levels are easy to adjust.
Ingredients
- 500 g potato peeled and cut into cubes
- 50 g butter
- 50 ml milk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Peel and chop 500 g Potatoes. Add them to a pan of cold, salted water and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes.
- Drain and return to the pan. Mash to your desired consistency.
- Add 50 g Butter, 50 ml Milk, 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon Wholegrain mustard. Mix well to combine.
Notes
- For fluffier mash, finish mashing with a spoon instead of a stick blender to avoid gluey texture.
- Use cold butter so it melts gradually into hot potatoes, ensuring even fat distribution.
- Steam-dry drained potatoes briefly before mashing to reduce watery mash.
- Cut potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
- Season with salt and pepper after mashing to adjust taste accurately.
- Chopped spring onions or chives can be added for extra flavor.
