Smashed Potatoes and Peas

These rustic smashed potatoes and peas offer a delightful twist on traditional mash, providing a more textured and vibrant side dish. By simmering the red potatoes until tender and combining them with sweet garden peas and fresh spring onions, you create a dish that is both colourful and full of fresh flavour. The addition of a little butter and milk ensures a creamy finish without losing the satisfying, chunky consistency that makes this recipe so appealing.

This versatile vegetarian side is an excellent accompaniment to a variety of main courses, from grilled halloumi to a simple nut roast. Using frozen peas makes this a practical choice for a quick midweek meal, while the inclusion of spring onions adds a mild, savoury bite. It is a nutritious, homemade alternative to standard mashed potatoes that the whole family will enjoy.
