Fennel Mash Potato

Fennel.....where would we be without that aniseed taste to accompany our fish, meat and Italian Sausages!

I use it from my salads to flavouring my roasted pork, but when it comes to Potatoes i use it to make a creamy mash :)

Mainly served with my grilled steak, this also works well with a oven roasted seabass.

1 Fennel Bulb

100ml Cream

20ml milk

50g Butter

salt and pepper

1tsp Fennel Seeds

5 Potatoes

1/ Peel and chop your potatoes so they are ready to boil.

2/ While your potatoes are boiling add puree your fennel in a food processor.

Place into a pan with your fennel seeds and toast for a couple of minutes, add your cream and milk and let it bubble down.

3/ Once your potatoes are boiled, mash together with the fennel mix, seasoning and adding your butter.

I personally like to make my mash with my kitchen-aid. I use the Mixer attachment, add my drained boiled potatoes and my warmed fennel mixture and let it mash away. I get perfect smooth mash all the time!
