Name: Seasoned Mashed Potatoes with Fish and Vegetables THE SAUCE: Preheat the oven to 20 degrees F. Drop the quartered baking potatoes into a large pot with enough lightly salted boiling water to cover them, and boil briskly until they are tender but not falling apart. Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining the chopped onions, lemon juice, 1 tb. of salt and ⅛ ts. black pepper and Cayenne pepper, and beat them together with a whisk or fork. Then beat in 1 cup of the oil. Drain the potatoes and mash them to a smooth puree either with a fork, a potato ricer or an electric mixer.

Beat in the sauce a tb. or so at a time and taste for seasoning.

Transfer the potatoes to a large heatproof serving platter, mound them in the center, and cover the platter loosely with foil. Keep the potatoes warm in the oven while you prepare the other ingredients.

THE TOPPING: In a small saucepan, combine the sliced onions and chili strips and add sufficient salted water to cover them completely.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then drain off all the water, and in its place pour in the ½ cup of olive oil, the vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Bring this to a boil, then cover the pan and simmer the mixture over moderate heat for about 5 minutes.

Turn off the heat and cover the pan to keep it warm.
