Black Garlic Mascarpone Mashed Potato

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Serves: 6 | V

Ingredients

  • Salt for the potato water
  • 1.5 kg floury potato e.g. King Edward or Maris Piper – peeled and cut into chunks
  • 50g butter
  • 125ml hot milk
  • 4 tbsp mascarpone
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 6 cloves Black Garlic – chopped
  • ½ tsp Black Garlic Paste
  • 6 spring onions – sliced
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped chives
 
Garnish
 
  • ½ tbsp finely chopped chives
  • 2 cloves Black Garlic – finely sliced

Method

  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and boil for 20 minutes until tender. Drain the potatoes. Cover with a clean tea towel to absorb the steam.
  • Put the drained potatoes back into the saucepan and place on a very low heat. Add the butter and hot milk to the warm potatoes. 
  • Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or put through a potato ricer. Add the mascarpone to the potatoes and beat together with a wooden spoon until thick and creamy. 
  • Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Gently stir in the chopped Black Garlic cloves, Black Garlic Paste, spring onions and chives.
 

To Serve: sprinkle over the garnish of chives and finely chopped Black Garlic cloves.

Top Tip: adding hot milk to the mashed potatoes will help to ensure a smoother finish. For an extra rich ‘cheesy’ mashed potato, stir 150g grated strong Cheddar cheese or vegetarian alternative into the mix.
