"Extra yummy mash to go with Pork dishes"
- Ready In:
- 45mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 500 g waxy potatoes
- 500 g sweet potatoes
- 75 g smoked bacon (cooking bacon or trimmings are fine, does not need to be rashers, I use 'cooking bacon' Ã finely cho)
- 60 g red onions (finely chopped)
- 1 garlic clove (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon coarse grain mustard
directions
- Peel & chop the waxy & sweet potato.
- Simmer in salted water until soft.
- Fry the bacon, onion, garlic and oil until browned. Initially on a high heat until the water has evaporated from the bacon, then reduce the heat to gently brown the meat & onions.
- Drain & mash the potatoes.
- Stir in the bacon, onion & garlic (if the pieces still look too large then you may want to turn out onto a chopping board and finely chop before adding to the potatoes).
- Stir in the tsp of wholegrain mustard.
- Optional: stir in a tbsp of unsalted butter.
- Alternate Direction: Chop the potatoes into 1cm cubes and fry with the onions bacon and garlic until soft - takes a while and may need a splash of water to help them along / prevent burning. Could add grated emmental or gruyere to make it extra rich.

I work in IT, but I love to spend quality time gubbinising in the kitchen. Middle Eastern, Indian, Thai, English, Spanish, Italian, Bavarian, home curing bacon, home made sausages, breads. Always good to be trying something new and generally over-catering...
