    Five ways with mashed potatoes

    Humble mashed potatoes are elevated to new heights of style and flavour. What should be a family favourite is so often not done properly. After peeling the boiling starchy (not waxy) potatoes, push them through a drum or fine sieve in small batches while still hot. Return to the saucepan and stir in the butter with a spatula until mixed through, and add a little milk. Do not use a stick blender to mash potatoes as this breaks down the starch too much, causing the mash to turn gluey. All recipes serve 4. Butter and garlic mash Mix 1 crushed…

Picked out of the Cantabrian Sea, the delicate-tasting boquerones are not intensely fishy or salty like their hairy brown counterparts. Their slightly salty, sweet-sour taste makes white anchovies a great antipasto dish.
