'Tis the season for mashed spuds which of course go so well with so many family winter dishes such as cassaroles, devilled sausages, corned beef, lambs fry & bacon, toppings for shepherd's pie, fish pie etc.
I do get bored though serving the same plain mashed spuds several times a week so please, what do you add to your mashed spuds to give them a little more interest and make them a little different each time???????
One of you mentioned a little while back adding horseradish which I've yet to try but will!! Suspect that would be awesome with corned beef??

When I mash potatoes I nearly always add chopped parsley, a teaspoon of Green Herb stock and sometimes some mixed herbs if I do have any chopped parsley. If you mash then fork through it, it will come up light and fluffy. Of course I do add salt prior to this. Hope this is helpful to you Judy.

* Depending on how many potatoes you're doing, when they're nearly done boiling, pour a good 1/2-3/4C cream in a small saucepan, add a knob of butter and a large handful of minced chives. Set it on a very low heat and let it all slowly melt and infuse while the potatoes finish up. Pour in and mash as usual.
* Add the smashed contents of a head or two of roasted garlic
I'm not a huge fan of mashed potatoes, but these I can deal with ;-)

Another idea great at this time of year is to substitute half of the potatoes with chopped cauliflower. It looks and tastes very much the same as all potato but a bit more nutritious. Mash as usual with a bit of parmesan if you like it. For a change when its mashed you can pile it into a gratin dish, sprinkle lightly with parmesan and grill till crispy
