Easy cheesy mashed potato with spring onions
This is a really easy side dish we cook a lot on Sunday evenings. It takes about 30 minutes and you can cook it alongside a roast or sausages. It is finished in the oven, which means that timing is easy as you can take all the hot food out at the end together. You can also cook your green vegetables on the hob whilst the food in the oven is finishing off.
We use whatever potatoes we have handy - but like Roosters the best. You can swap out the cheddar cheese for another cheese or the spring onions for cabbage if you like - or just not use them at all. The key thing is to season to taste before you put it in the oven.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel the potatoes and cut into even sized chunks and boil in a pot. If you cut the chunks evenly they will cook evenly - I tend to cut into inch thick slices.
- 2
Heat a pan on low to medium heat and add the butter. Once melted lightly fry off the spring onion and garlic until softened. Take off the heat whilst still green and fresh.
- 3
When soft to touch with a knife take the potatoes and drain. Leave for a good 5 minutes or more to let all the steam and water leave the potatoes.
- 4
Mash the potatoes or use a potato ricer. Add the spring onion, garlic (and butter) and milk. Season with plenty of salt and pepper to taste. You can add more butter if you like.Add to a baking dish and top with the grated cheese.
- 5
I have used cheddar cheese but you could use any hard cheese you like. You could skip the cheese - we often do - especially if you are going to serve with gravy.
- 6
Place in the oven between 175c and 200c for 15 minutes. This reheats the potato and sharpens up the taste. It also allows you to finish off the green veg to go with your meal. Use the grill to crisp up the top at the end.

Tonight we had sausages and peas. The sausages were popped in the oven for 30 minutes at 175c whilst I cooked the potatoes. The peas were boiled for 5 minutes from frozen

Simple Lasagne-Style Mashed Potatoes Simple Lasagne-Style Mashed Potatoes
This is a recipe that I thought of when I had to use up some leftover meat sauce. If you make lots of meat sauce and freeze it, it can be used in many other dishes later on. The mashed potato lasagne in the photos have been made in large cocottes and sprinkled with pizza cheese rather than finely grated cheese. Melty cheese slices also work well.Please use as much or as little butter as you'd like. This dish tastes great when even only a small amount is used.You can add more milk to the mashed potatoes if you wish.When you are using 2 cocottes, remember to split the mashed potatoes and meat sauce into halves.Please keep any eye on the lasagnes in the oven so that they don't burn.

Mashed potato spring rolls Mashed potato spring rolls
My wife's been raving about mashed potato spring rolls ever since she tried them at a restaurant a few years back. They didn't sound that exciting, so I never had the urge to recreate them before now. I admit I was wrong -- these things are pretty great. When making them, be sure to start with really good, fluffy, homemade mashed potatoes. Not potato puree. And no instant stuff.

I prefer to make homemade mashed potatoes. I also love to stock up for the winter season! 🤗 You can pretty much add in any ingredients to make this recipe your own. Homemade mashed potatoes are actually easy and very easy also to store and reuse! You can use them for many different meals and they keep well in the freezer. And of course you can always remove the skins as well. Sometimes I do.... Sometimes I dont. 🤷🏻♀️ #onerecipeonetree #mashedpotatoes #potatoes
