Ingredients:900 gm (2 pounds) of potatoes, peeled and chopped Method:Cover potatoes with cold water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until tender. Drain well. Add butter and milk and mash till lovely and creamy. Add more milk if necessary. Add spring onions, salt and pepper and mash until well combined. Serves 4 -6 depending on how much you like potato. In the Morrison family we absolutely love potatoes so we easily devour it between four of us. Notes:We serve this "unhealthy" version on weekends as a treat or if we have visitors. Other times we omit the butter and we use skimmed milk instead. It doesn't taste as creamy and rich but we must look after our hearts a little. Only have unhealthy foods in limited amounts. Food Facts:There are literally thousands of potato varieties. Potatoes include both protein and fibre and are high in complex carbohydrates. They contain vitamins B, C iron and potassium. Milk is often referred to as a complete food and
is one of our most widely used ingredients. The
main milks that we consume are cow's, goat's and
sheep's milk. Nowadays we have the option
of using "milks" that are non-dairy such as soya,
rice and oat milks. Skim milk contains
only half the calories of full fat milk but is
nutritionally much the same. Milk is an
important source of calcium and phosphorous.
It also contains reasonable amounts of zinc and
the B vitamins. Cream has a very high fat
content varying from 12% to 55% depending on the
variety. Consequently it should be eaten
sparingly.
