Everyone loves mash in our house especially with lots of cream and butter added. Chives from the garden are also a popular addition.
Chive Mash – serves 6 generously
- 1kg potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 8 tbsp double cream
- 50g butter
- 6 tbsp snipped chives
Cover the potatoes with cold water and a good pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender, then drain in a colander and return to the warm pan to dry.
Gently heat the cream in a small saucepan, then add the butter and pour over the potatoes. Season with salt and freshly ground white pepper. Add the chives and beat with a wooden spoon until fluffy.

Sure looks delicious.
Just to say thanks for all the great ideas. Your blog with the really useful search facility is such a useful thing to know about in the endless question of what shall we have for supper tonight.
Am I dreaming, or did you recently include the brand of your favourite tandoori curry paste in one of your recipes? Can’t find it now – maybe it was never there.
Hi Angela. Thanks so much for your nice comment. It’s always nice to know there are people out there looking at our blog. Our favourite curry paste is Pakak’s. J&J
Yummy! Have you tried Kale Colcannon (mash + butter + blanched kale + spring onion)? One of my favourites, especially on a sleety, rainy day like this. 😉
Hi Ash. I don’t think we’ve tried that exact combination but sounds right up our street! If only we had some kale in the house! J&J
