Ingredients
- 4 potatoes
- 1 beetroot
- olive oil
- sea salt
- various herbs, like basil, thyme, oregano, parsley, dried celery root & leaves, fennel,
- onion powder, nutmeg, black pepper, chives
Cook potatoes and beetroot till tender. The beetroot needs more time, so either put it in first, or take out the potatoes when done, and finish the beetroot separately. Mash and mix in oil and whatever spices and herbs your heart desires.
I like to serve this with radishes, cos the colour matches, and ruccola or any other nice lettuce.
If you shape the mash to hearts, and cover in sesame seeds, you have a nice valentines snack!
Also, if you make a big portion and have cold leftovers, you can heat them in a frying pan (skillet) like this.
Alternately, you can mash the potatoes separately, mix in oil & herbs, and then only mix in the mashed beetroot partly, so you get a marble effect.
I bet kids''ll like this bright magenta coloured mash!
Use this as a side dish, or a snack, or as a topping on shepherd''s pie
