Mashed potatoes with herbs
4 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Potatoes (about 2 lbs.) | |
| 1 | cup | Thinly sliced onion |
| ⅔ | cup | Milk |
| 2 | tablespoons | Butter |
| ¼ | cup | Finely chopped chervil* |
| Salt and pepper; to taste | ||
Directions
*While the recipe says you can substitute dried chervil, using ⅔ less the amount of the ¼ cup, personally I think dried chervil tastes like straw and I only make this in spring/early summer when fresh chervil's in my garden.
Peel and quarter potatoes. Put in a large pot; cover with cold water. Add the onion and salt. Bring to a boil and cook 20 minutes.
Drain. Beat in milk, butter, chervil and salt and pepper to taste.
