Mustard Mash

This Mustard Mash is the perfect way to spruce up a simple mashed potato. The perfect no fuss side dish!

Mash with Mustard

Honestly, mashed potatoes and mustard is a match made in heaven. I mean mashed potatoes by themselves are great, but if you’re a regular reader of mine you’ll know I like to take things a step further.

Mustard Mash Ingredients

• Potatoes
• Butter
• Cream (or milk)
• Dijon Mustard
• Wholegrain Mustard

I definitely recommend using the two different mustards, as they both bring something unique to the mash. The dijon adds that classic mustard flavour, without being as overpowering as something like hot English mustard, whilst the wholegrain adds a nice bit of texture.

How to make Mustard Mash

It really is as simple as popping your spuds in cold water and bringing to the boil until knife tender. Drain and mash with butter, then stir in cream and mustards. From there I always pour melted butter over the top just before serving, just because why the heck not?!

Make Ahead Mustard Mash

You can of course make this mustard mash ahead of time. Just allow to cool, then cover in the fridge for 2 days without the melted butter.  Either bring to room temp and reheat in the microwave (mixing a couple of times) or add a splash of cream/milk and stir over medium heat in a pot. Serve with melted butter.

Serving Mustard Mash

So that’s it! No fuss mashed potatoes taken to new heights of flavour. Here’s what I love to serve this mash with:

• Toad in the Hole
• Honey Garlic Pork Chops
• Homemade Pork Sausages
• Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Pie

Notes:

a) Seasoning - Bring out the best in this simple mashed potato by seasoning, seasoning more, then seasoning again. I'll usually go for salted butter for this reason, but feel free to sub unsalted butter if that's all you have.

b) Wholegrain Mustard -  I do strongly recommend using the two different mustards as they both bring s little something different to the table. The wholegrain adds a nice texture to the mash, whilst the dijon adds that classic mustard flavour.

c) Make Ahead - Feel free to make this ahead of time! Just leave off the final drizzle of butter and cover in the fridge. I usually bring to room temp before I microwave so it warms through more evenly. You can also add a splash of cream/milk and stir over medium heat in a suitably sized pot.

d) Calories - based on using 1/2 cup heavy cream and unsalted butter. Divided by 5.
