Ingredients

Scale
  • 680g potatoes, skin on* (see notes)
  • Powdered chicken stock
  • 120ml heavy cream
  • 120ml milk
  • 2 heaped tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Sea Salt Flakes
  • Ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of melted butter for garnish

Parmesan Chips

  • Reserved potato skins
  • Oil for roasting
  • Salt flakes
  • Grated parmesan

Instructions

  1. Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Place all the potato peel into a bowl and reserve for later.
  2. Chop potatoes into medium pieces. Place inside a saucepan and fill with cold water, at least one inch above the potatoes. Season the water with powdered chicken stock and a little salt.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the temperature to low and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes or until you can easily poke the potatoes through with a fork.
  4. Heat oven to 230°C. Add a little olive oil and salt to the potato skins and combine well. Lay skins onto a roasting tray and bake for 8 – 10 minutes or until browned and crispy. Remove and whilst hot sprinkle each skin with grated parmesan and return to the oven for another 1 -2 minutes to crisp.
  5.  Drain potatoes and return to the pot. Add milk, cream, onion and garlic powder, and butter. Mash until smooth. Return pot to stove top over medium heat and using a wooden spoon continually beat for 1 – 2 minutes until potatoes are smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
  6. To serve: Transfer mash to a serving bowl. Drizzle with some melted butter and top with crispy parmesan potato skins.
