Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

750 g potatoes (baby or chats)
30 g butter
700 g red snapper (cut into 4 pieces (175g each)
30 g butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons capers (drained or rinsed if they come in salt)
1/3 cup parsley (flat leaf chopped)
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup chives (cut into 2cm lengths)
salt
black pepper
1 lemon (cut into 4 wedges)

Steps:

  • Simmer the potatoes in salted water until they are tender (skin on).
  • Season well with salt and pepper and coat them with the first lot of butter and keep warm.
  • To cook the fish, heat a medium pan and add the second lot of butter and the olive oil.
  • Cook the fish until it is golden brown on both sides and just cooked through (timing will depend on thickness).
  • Place the fish onto warm serving plates.
  • Add the capers, parsley and lemon juice to the pan, scraping up all the brown bits.
  • Season well and pour over the fish.
  • Fold the chives through the potatoes and serve those alongside with the lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for mashed potatoes due to their fluffy texture and creamy consistency.
  • Boil the potatoes properly: Ensure the potatoes are fully submerged in boiling water to cook evenly. You can check their doneness by piercing them with a fork—they should be tender.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: Excess water can make your mashed potatoes gluey, so drain them well before mashing.
  • Flavor the potatoes while they're hot: When the potatoes are hot, they're more receptive to absorbing flavors. Add your desired seasonings, such as butter, milk, garlic, and herbs, at this stage.
  • Use a potato ricer or masher: For a smooth and lump-free texture, use a potato ricer or masher instead of a food processor, which can make the potatoes gummy.
  • Add the lemon and capers at the end: Incorporate the lemon zest, lemon juice, and capers towards the end of the mashing process to preserve their bright flavors and prevent them from overpowering the dish.

Conclusion:

Lemon and caper mashed potatoes offer a delightful twist on the classic comfort food, combining tangy citrus and savory brininess. By following these tips, you can create perfectly creamy, flavorful, and visually appealing mashed potatoes that will impress your family and friends. Whether served as a side dish to grilled chicken or fish or enjoyed on their own, these lemony-capery mashed potatoes are sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
