Mashed Red-Skinned Potatoes

These rustic mashed red potatoes are a wonderful vegetarian side dish that brings a touch of comfort to any dinner table. By keeping the nutrient-rich red skins on, you achieve a beautiful contrast in colour and a slightly earthy flavour that sets them apart from traditional peeled mashes. The texture is intentionally hearty yet smooth, providing the perfect base for your favourite main courses or a rich Sunday roast.

Quick to prepare and naturally gluten-free, this simple recipe relies on high-quality ingredients like whole milk and softened butter for its luxurious finish. It is an excellent choice for busy weeknights when you need a reliable, healthy accompaniment that the whole family will enjoy. Serve them piping hot alongside grilled vegetables or a savoury plant-based loaf for a truly satisfying meal.

Ingredients for Mashed Red-Skinned Potatoes

  • 900g red potatoes (preferably organic)

  • 240ml whole milk

  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened

How to make Mashed Red-Skinned Potatoes

Cut potatoes (with skin) into 1-inch pieces, then generously cover with cold salted water (1 teaspoon salt for 1200ml water) in a large saucepan and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat milk, butter, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted.

Drain potatoes well in a colander and return to pan. Mash with a potato masher, and, while hot, stir in milk mixture. Season with salt.
