Swanky mashed potatoes like these make a lovely side dish beside a cauliflower steak or a BBQ veggie platter — of course, they can be equally enjoyed on the couch with a spoon ;)
You will need
Serves 6
- 450g Kipfler potatoes
- Salt & pepper

Recipe: Simon Toohey
Directions
-
Step 1
Boil the potatoes with their skins on until tender, then place in cold water — this helps make the skin easy to peel.
-
Step 2
Remove the skins from the potatoes while they’re still warm. Mash the peeled potatoes to the texture of your liking. Add a generous pinch of salt and olive oil, stir through.
-
Step 3
Pulse the basil and chives with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into a bowl and top with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Stir through to combine.
-
Step 4
Spoon the green dressing over the mashed potatoes to serve.
