Mash potato. One of my favourite meals of all times. It can go from a plain, creamy mash, to cheese and chive mash with bacon! There is literally so many fancy things that you can do with this dish, and it all tastes honestly amazing! Perfect on the side of any hot meal, like a steak with some tender steamed broccoli, a roast, pork, sausage- British know this as ‘bangers and bash- and anything with beans! So much more, and the different flavours add even more to the excitement!
