We had a very American dinner the other day. Steak and potatoes, and salad eaten on the same plate at the same time. Whoaaa. We made this salad again, because it was delicious, only without the avocado because we didn't have any. Anyway, I wanted to talk about mashed potatoes. Because they're easy and quick and these ones were quite delicious.
I used to think I hated mashed potatoes, because they were always sort of gooey and the same consistency and pale and just gross. But, it turns out that it's just boxed mash potatoes that I don't like. Chunky "rustic" mashed potatoes are actually delicious!
In this case, we chopped up two potatoes into quarters, and boiled for 15-20min or so until they were soft. Then, into a bowl with them, and maybe 2tbs of butter. Salt, pepper. A scallion, chopped finely. Mash with a fork. Eat. So simple, so delicious. You should make some, next time you want something fast and simple and delicious.
Also, that yellow blob - that's an extra beet. Cooked, sliced thin, and drizzled with some really good vinegar. This one. You may ask why someone would spend $27 on a bottle of vinegar, and I would answer, because this one is totally worth it. You don't waste it in salad dressing, you drizzle it on things like beets where you can really taste it and appreciate it. Yum. Oh, and a pinch of salt and pepper, just to top things off.
