Description

Sometimes, the simplest recipes are also the best. These fork-mashed potatoes can be prepared in no time and are the perfect accompaniment to meat, fish or grilled vegetables. Their secret? Cooking them with the skin on, which is packed with fibre, vitamins and essential minerals (vitamin C, potassium, antioxidants). Crème fraîche and chives are then added to enhance this rustic dish, resulting in a melt-in-the-mouth, fragrant dish.

Ingredients
  • 1 kg of potatoes (firm variety for salad)
  • 250 g fresh cream
  • Salt
  • black pepper
  • 1 bouquet fresh chives
