Try this gourmet version of mashed potatoes by Australian celebrity chef Benjamin Christie (or any other of his many recipes.)

Truffled Mashed Potato is carried by many of the world’s finest restaurants, usually paired with
ocean trout, beef fillet, lamb loin or pork cutlets. Serve it at your Thanksgiving dinner and impress your guests with your culinary expertise.

Ingredients

500g potatoes
60ml cream
40g butter
10g Alpine pepper
10ml Paperbark Smoke oil
10g salt

Instructions
Peel the potatoes and place them in a saucepan of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft. Drain and return to the pot. With a potato masher, roughly mash the potatoes. Ideally, use a potato ricer and pass the potato through to get a fine mash. Alternatively, keep mashing to smoothness. Add the cream, butter, Alpine pepper and season with salt to taste.

To serve as a side dish, try simply drizzling the Paperbark Smoke Oil over the top. Alternatively, mix it through for a delicious mash potato
