Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds of starchy potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
Honey Mustard Mixture
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Other Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley or chives), for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: Start by washing and peeling the potatoes, then cut them into large chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Prepare the Honey Mustard Mixture: While the potatoes are cooking, mix together honey and Dijon mustard in a bowl. Adjust the proportions according to your taste for sweetness or tanginess.
- Drain and Smash: Once the potatoes are done, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher to gently smash the potatoes, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the honey mustard mixture along with butter, salt, and pepper to the smashed potatoes. Stir everything together until well combined and creamy.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer your Honey Mustard Smashed Potatoes to a serving bowl, and sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs for a beautiful presentation. Serve warm!
Notes
- Picky Potato Choosing: For the fluffiest texture, always opt for starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold.
- Extra Creaminess: For an even creamier mashed potato consistency, add a splash of milk or cream.
- Honey Variation: Experiment with different types of honey, like clover or wildflower, to enhance flavors.
- Keep it Warm: If making ahead of time, keep the potatoes warm on the stovetop with a lid.
- Batch Preparation: Make a larger batch and enjoy as leftovers or freeze for future meals.
