  • 1/2 cup (125ml) pouring cream
  • 40 gram (1½ ounces) butter

Method

Capsicum mash

    Quarter and seed capsicums; roast on oiled heated grill plate (or grill or barbecue) until lightly charred. Slice thinly.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, boil, steam or microwave potato until tender; drain. Mash with cream and butter until smooth; stir in capsicum.

Notes

For perfectly creamy mash, push the cooked potato through a ricer or fine sieve into a medium bowl then stir in the butter and warmed cream. Stir crumbled feta or goat's cheese into the mash for extra richness.
