Creamy Garlic Confit Mash

Silky smooth and full of savoury depth, this creamy mash transforms a simple side into something special. Kursat’s Pickled Garlic Confit Paste adds rich, mellow garlic flavour with just the right tang, no peeling or roasting required.

Ingredients:

• 1.2kg floury potatoes (Maris Piper or King Edward), peeled and cut into chunks

• 3 tbsp Kursat’s Pickled Garlic Confit Paste

• 75g unsalted butter (or olive oil for vegan option)

• 100ml milk or plant-based alternative, warmed

• Sea salt and cracked black pepper, to taste

• Optional: chopped chives or parsley to serve

Method:

1. Place the potatoes in a large pan, cover with cold water, and add a good pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15–20 minutes until tender.

2. Drain well and allow the steam to escape for a minute or two.

3. Mash the potatoes until smooth, then stir in the butter and Kürsat’s Pickled Garlic Confit Paste.

4. Gradually add the warm milk until you reach your desired consistency. Season generously with salt and pepper.

5. Spoon into a serving bowl, top with a swirl of extra garlic paste and a sprinkle of herbs. Serve alongside roasted meats, grilled fish or vegetables.
