This afternoon I was introduced to a simple potato dish that was divine!
I shall recall its ingrediants and methods as best I can.
Ingredients:
Potato's (obviously) - in as large an amount as you feel necesary (around 1 and 1/2 per person)
Onion - Possibly one of the best vegetables around, one large one should suffice.
Garlic - Your girlfriend is gonna love you for this, 1 or 2 cloves depending if you want to be kissed later on.
Butter - Margarine will do the job just aswell if not better, and it will probably be cheaper too. 1 nob (of marge!)
Some pasta sauce? - Not to sure about this but Ian kindof found some in a pan and used a little bit in it. =P
Method:
Cut potato's into quaters (scrub them and leave their skins on) and put them in a pan to boil.
When they have been cooked to a nice standard (semi firm but we are going to mash them so it doesn't really matter) remove them from the pan (Sensibly! I'm not responsible for you picking them out with your hand).
Cut the onion roughly and crush the garlic (no one really likes a large chunk of garlic in there meal).
While you are doing this, puut the big nob of butter in a large frying pan and let it heat on a low to medium heat.
When it reaches the desired frying temperature, put the garlic and onion in the pan stirring often.
When the onion has been sucessfully sauteed put the potato's in the pan and turn it down to low.
MILDLY mash the potato's in the pan so that they are semi squashed, enough to be recognized as mash but not bashed the hell out of.
Add dried herbs and spices if you are thatway inclined and add a little bit of pasta sauce (good quality stuff that isnt completely a liquid) but remember only use a tad of pasta sauce!
Stirr it all in and when it's all at a good temperature (more or less instantly) it can be served!
Voila! My late night gourmet post has reached it's end. When I'm not so shattered I might post some more.
And nice to know that there are other passionate culinares out there Reverend Del!
