Much ado about Mashed Potatoes and Guinness

I found this recipe for a Guinness Beef and Carrot Stew served with mashed potatoes, so thought hmm... Guinness as the base of a stew, never tried that before, lets go for it! 

The stew was rich and delicious but the beef was kinda tough... So next time I will be leaving the stew in the oven for much longer!!!

Now on to the mashed potatoes!!! Recipe below:

Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 8 Large or 10 Medium Irish Potatoes 

• Quarter of a cup of Cream/Milk/Powdered Milk mixed with water

• Half a tablespoon of Butter

• Half a teaspoon of Salt

Directions:

1. Peel the potatoes, add water, salt and boil for approximately 20 minutes or till very soft

2. When the potatoes are almost ready, warm your cream/milk for 1 minute

3. Drain all the water out of the cooked potatoes

4. Immediately add the warm cream/milk and butter

5. Then mash with a fork or potato masher till smooth

Note: The trick is to mash the potatoes immediately they are taken off and whilst they are still steaming hot.

Result: Not bad!
Difficulty Level: Medium?
Making it Again? Hmm not anytime soon, but yeah...
