Orange Mashed Potatoes Food

LEMON & ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line a deep, 20cm round cake tin. Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, then gradually beat in the eggs, one by one. Fold in the flour, baking powder, mashed potato, zests and juices. Scrape into the tin and level the top. Bake for 45 mins until golden and a skewer poked in comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then move to a wire rack.
• Sift the icing sugar, then mix in enough of the lemon juice to make a stiff, but still runny icing. Spread over the cake so it dribbles down the sides a little. Add some chocolate eggs, if using. Leave until the icing has set, then slice and serve. Delicious with a dollop of natural yogurt.

BEST EVER CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Tip the potatoes into a large pan, cover with cold water and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Set the pan over a high heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are very tender - they should be able to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain well, then return to the pan and leave to steam-dry for 5 mins.
• Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl for a lump-free mash (you may need to do this in batches). Alternatively, mash with a potato masher until smooth, then press through a sieve using the back of a spoon to get rid of any remaining lumps.
• Tip the 50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, the milk and some seasoning into the bowl with the hot mash. Beat everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a splash more milk to loosen, if needed. Top with the remaining 1 tbsp butter and leave it to melt for a few seconds before serving.

MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH ORANGE ESSENCE

Steps:

• Steam the potatoes in a large covered pan fitted with a steamer basket until they are tender, about 8 minutes.
• In a large bowl mash the potatoes with the buttermilk and orange juice. Stir in the zest, salt, and nutmeg. Serve the potatoes topped with the butter, if desired.

ORANGE MASHED POTATOES

• Melt butter and saute onions.
• Cook peeled potatoes until tender; mash and add sour cream and orange juice using mixer.
• Stir in onions and salt.
• Garnish with orange zest.

MASHED POTATOES WITH OLIVE OIL AND HERBS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt and cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Return the potatoes to the pan. Shake the pan over medium heat for about a minute to dry the potatoes. Transfer the potatoes to a food mill, ricer or bowl.
• Add the oil and reserved cooking liquid to the saucepan and warm over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat. Mash the potatoes through the food mill or ricer into the pan (or mash by hand in the bowl and transfer to the pan). Add the basil, parsley and tarragon and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

THE BEST MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Generously salt the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Then lower the heat to medium and gently simmer until the potatoes are completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat and let any residual water steam off, about 2 minutes. Mash the potatoes well with a potato masher. Fold in the butter with a spatula until melted, and then fold in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.

ORANGE-GLAZED DUCK WITH DUCK-FAT FONDANT POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Season the duck and lay it skin-side down on one side of the pan, then add the potatoes on the other side of the pan. Cook for 10 mins, but lower the heat if the duck skin is browning too quickly - it should be golden along with one side of the potatoes. Remove the duck to a plate, then turn the potatoes. Add the cabbage wedges to the pan, then put in the oven for 10 mins or until the cabbage is slightly wilting.
• Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Turn the cabbage, then return the duck to the pan, skin-side up. Put back in the oven for 8 mins for pink meat, or 10 mins if you prefer the duck well done.
• Remove the cabbage and potatoes from the pan and keep warm in a low oven. Put the pan with the duck back on the hob over a high heat. Drizzle with the honey and pour over the citrus juice. Bubble the liquid down to a sticky glaze for about 2-3 mins so it coats the duck, then spoon the glaze over. Remove the duck to a plate. Pour the stock into the pan, bring back to the boil and leave to bubble for 3-4 mins to create a syrupy sauce, adding any juices from the plate. Carve the duck into thick slices and arrange on a warm plate with the potatoes and cabbage. Pour over the sauce.

MAPLE-ORANGE MASHED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine butter, cream, salt, sugar, and sweet potatoes in 3 to 4 quart saucepan; cook, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes fall apart when poked with fork, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Off heat, mash sweet potatoes in saucepan with potato masher, or transfer mixture to hopper of food mill and process into warmed serving bowl. Stir in pepper, maple syrup, and orange zest; serve immediately.

HUTSPOT (ORANGE MASHED POTATOES AND SAUSAGE DINNER)

Steps:

• Place the carrots in the bottom of a 3 quart pan with about 2 cups of water and put on high to boil.
• Let cook for about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and onion.
• Put the sausage on top. (It will give the veggies some great flavor!).
• Cover. Let cook over medium heat for about 10 min until the vegetables are tender and easy to mash.
• Remove the sausage to a plate to keep warm.
• Drain the vegetables, reserving at least 1/2 c of the water if you prefer to use water to cream or milk.
• Put through a potato ricer or use a potato masher to mash all the vegetables together. Use the back of a spoon to smoosh it all together with the remaining ingredients. You CAN use a mixer for this, but you risk the vegetables becoming gummy if you over-mix. Go for power at your own risk!
• Season to taste. Serve with a salad and dinner is ready!
