Recipe Notes

The flavour of these pancakes will vary depending on what potatoes you use and what you add to your potatoes. I’m a huge of locally grown small potatoes and when I know the grower, I leave the skins on, chop and cook in salted water until done.

Make sure you drain your potatoes well and that they are ‘dry’ before mashing.

Now, here is where flavour can really vary; I will add butter for sure, whipping cream if it’s in the fridge or sour cream or Greek yogurt, salt and pepper to taste. I don’t use a ricer or food mill as I prefer a rougher masher.

Voila, easy delish mashed potatoes.

You can turn this dish into a main course by adding cooked protein such as canned salmon or tuna, finely chopped cooked chicken, beef or pork and of course, finely chopped cooked bacon with chives or chopped onions and grated cheese.
