Wild garlic has a short season in April and most years we make all kinds of things with it. This April we only managed some mashed potato – but very delicious mashed potato it was!
Wild Garlic Mash- serves 2 generously
- 700g floury potatoes
- 25-50g butter
- 25g wild garlic, roughly chopped
- 100ml double cream
Peel the potatoes and cut into same-sized chunks. Boil until completely tender.
Dry the potatoes off in the hot pan, then mash until smooth.
Meanwhile, melt a generous slab of butter in a small frying pan. Add the wild garlic and cook for a minute or two until softened. Pour the melted butter and wild garlic into the mashed potatoes.
Pour the cream into the same frying pan and bring to a bubble, then pour into the potatoes. Season well with salt and freshly ground white pepper, then beat the mash with a wooden spoon until smooth and fluffy.

The butter garlic is making this quite tempting!
