Herby Apple Mashed Potato

Directions

1. 1
   Wash the potatoes and peel if preferred.
2. 2
   Mum did, I don't.
3. 3
   I think they're much nicer unpeeled.
4. 4
   All the vitamin C is in the peel.
5. 5
   Cube potatoes and boil until soft - about 8 minutes.
6. 6
   Meanwhile, place apples and a little water into a microwaveable bowl and microwave for a couple of minutes until soft.
7. 7
   Alternatively boil apples and a little water in a saucepan.
8. 8
   When potatoes are cooked, drain, return to saucepan and add butter or oil.
9. 9
   Mash potatoes, removing all lumps.
10. 10
    Mash softened apples slightly with a fork and stir into mashed potato.
11. 11
    Add chosen herb or herbs.
12. 12
    My personal favourite is sprinkles of oregano and basil plus a pinch of garlic powder or onion seeds.
13. 13
    Was unable to add Chinese 5-Spice when entering ingredients for some reason, but that can be nice too sometimes, especially with fish.
14. 14
    Return pan of mashed potatoes to stove and heat gently for a couple of minutes to warm them back up again and serve.
15. 15
    Sometimes a little milk can be good in with this when re-heating after the mashing.
16. 16
    Once more it kind of depends what you're serving it with.

    Enjoy!
