serves 6

You can vary this dish by using different types of potatoes.


Crème Fraîche Mashed Potatoes | Love and Olive Oil

Ingredients:

2 lb. (1 kg) potatoes , diced

2 cups canned white beans, drained and rinsed

½ cup milk or cream

¼ cup butter (or to taste) 

Salt and pepper to taste




Directions:

Cover the potatoes with water in a large pot and bring to a boil.


Cook for about 15 minutes


Drain and add the beans, milk, butter, salt and pepper.


Mash with a potato masher until it’s as smooth as you like.


Enjoy!




Notes:

  • It’s time-saving to leave the potato skin on when you make this dish.  Peel only if you wish.

  • Russet potatoes are the ones that look “dusty”.   They will soak up more butter and milk than other types of potatoes (e.g Yukon Gold that naturally taste buttery.)

  • Canned beans mash more easily than simmered dry beans.  If you want to cook your own beans, add a clove of garlic to the water and overcook them so they will mash easily by hand.  You can also use a food processor to mash them.

  • Substitute olive oil for some or part of the butter

  • Add finely chopped and parsley when you mash the potatoes for extra flavour and colour

Seafood green onion pancake

 Seafood green onion pancake maangchi’s recipe Some tips when making these pancakes: • For a vegetarian version, skip the seafood and egg and use vegetable stock. • The batter should be runny, because thick batter will clump when you cook it and your pancake won’t turn out well. • While cooking, press down and poke the pancake to make some gaps in between the green onions. You should see some steam coming up through the gaps, that means the green onions are being cooked nicely. • This pancake is too heavy to toss up and flip, so don’t try it! You’ll need a big spatula to turn it over. • Be sure to make the dipping sauce, that’s the best way to enjoy it! Ingredients   Serves 2 • ½ cup all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon potato starch(corn starch) • ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus a pinch of salt • a pinch of ground black pepper • ¾ cup stock (anchovy kelp stock, chicken stock or vegetable stock), or water • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil • 12 green onions, roots and tops trimmed to 8 to ...
