You need to make yourself some Hutspot.
Oh and try and find Rookworst to go with it.
Hutspot looks good, the evaporated milk would make it sweet too. We never had plain mashed potatoes, so it's similar to what I grew up on....ours usually had garlic, onion, parsley and sometimes pumpkin mashed through.
Our mums must be related.
Parsley through mashed potatoes. Have not seen it elsewhere than on our table.
Mashed potato with onion and pumpkin will be a bit like hutspot. Though hutspot will be a bit more smooth, because of the structure of the carrots.
Yes, you've said that before!
Re pumpkin vs carrots in Hutspot, I think it would be the carrots that would be more chunky. Mashed pumpkin is pretty smooth. We've always used Butternut or Jap pumpkins.
We keep a tub of do-it-yourself garlic margarine (freshly-crushed garlic and lots of dried parsley flakes) in the fridge along with the regular margarine. The only problem is that, once made, it seldom lasts for more than a few hours. It's good in mashed potato, macaroni-and-cheese, scrambled egg, on sandwiches and toast... with damn-near anything, really.
I have to agree with you. My Mum used to do it with butter and fresh parsley, and my God, what a treat. I do make it from time to time, like she did, but yes, like you say, it goes well with everything. Too well! Hence why it's an occasional treat.
In a perfect world, I'd make it all the time, but I doubt that I'd fit through the door to go out and buy more garlic, parsley and butter!
was it something I said?
