Notes
STOVE TOP MASH
To make parmesan mash, add potato and stock cube to a large saucepan of boiling water. Cover and gently boil for 20 minutes or until tender. Reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) of cooking liquid, then drain well. Return potato to saucepan, add parmesan and reserved cooking liquid and mash until smooth. Set aside.
For those of you that are like me and HATE mash potato done in the Thermomix (I don't like to eat wallpaper glue) THIS is amazing. With the stock and parmesan, it is like my mash potato and not gluggy at all.
