Hello Margot,
Have you ever tried mashed potatoes with curry powder and yogurt? It tastes different.
Thank you Pepy for the tip, I will try next time… I often replace soured cream with natural yogurt, why I never thought of adding curry powder? :)
ohhh, yum. i love the leeks in there. leeks are one of my favorite ingredients.
They must be so good. I love mashed potatoes.
Just lovely! Mashed potatoes are a staple when you have kids at home. I like the addition of leek here!
This looks similar to Irish colcannon – I love mashed potatoes with leek! Wish I could get organic stuff here in Japan without it costing an arm and a leg! Your photo is beautiful.
This sounds really nice so will definitely be giving it a go :)
There is something so comforting about mashed potatoes. I love these with the leeks added.
