MISO MASHED POTATOES WITH SPRING ONIONS & CAPERS

An exclusive recipe, created for Nanna Tate by Great British Chefs Kitchen.

A creamy pommes purée-style mash given a boost of umami with miso paste, topped with a bright mixture of lemon zest, spring onion, capers and chives

Ingredients

  • 1.2kg Nanna Tate potatoes, peeled and cut into even chunks
  • 200ml of double cream
  • 1 tbsp of wholegrain mustard
  • 200g of unsalted butter, diced
  • 2 tbsp of white miso paste
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 2 tbsp of capers
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 2 tbsp of finely chopped chives

Let’s get cooking!

  • Step 1 of 3

    BOIL ‘TIL TENDER

    Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Add a big pinch of salt, then bring the water to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are completely tender.

    Drain the potatoes in a colander, then leave them to steam-dry for a few minutes. Meanwhile, gently warm the cream and mustard in a saucepan over a low heat.

    MMMASH

    Mash the potatoes (ideally using a potato ricer) until completely smooth, incorporating the butter (saving around 20g of it for later) and miso while you work. Fold in the warm cream to create a smooth, creamy mash. Season well with salt and pepper.

    FINISH & SERVE

    Spoon the mash into a warm serving bowl (or several smaller bowls), using the back of a spoon to swirl the top. Melt and drizzle the reserved butter over the top, then mix together the lemon zest, capers and spring onion and arrange on top. Finish with a sprinkle of chives.
