Dill & Yogurt Mashed Potatoes

No ratings yet

Ingredients

  • 6 potatoes, A floury potato is best- I love Maris Pipers, chopped
  • ½ cup (115 g) butter , + a sliver more for garnish
  • cup (15 g) fresh dill , + another sprig for garnish
  • ½ cup (120 ml) yogurt , + a spoonful more for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions 

  • Bring a pot of salted water to boil, and add the potatoes. Simmer until soft, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, over a very low heat, melt half of the butter in a saucepan.
  • Add the dill to the saucepan of butter and allow to cook very softly for a few minutes. You don't want the butter to froth and bubble, just to very gently release the flavours of the dill.
  • Turn off the heat and leave the butter to infuse while you wait for the potatoes to be ready.
  • Drain the potatoes into a colander and set aside.
  • Pour the yogurt and remaining butter into the warm saucepan which the potatoes cooked in. (This will allow it to warm up a little and melt in to the riced potatoes as you add them)
  • One by one, rice the potatoes into the pan over the yogurt and butter.
  • When all the riced potatoes are in, give it a big stir to incorporate the yogurt and butter which should glide through the potatoes very easily.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Finally, put the pan on a very low heat and stir in the dill infused melted butter, until the potatoes are warm, creamy and perfect.
  • Add your garnishes if so inclined.
