SKIRLIE MASH - SCOTTISH MASHED POTATOES WITH ONIONS AND OATS



Skirlie Mash - Scottish Mashed Potatoes With Onions and Oats image

A beautiful, creamy and traditional accompaniment for your Burns Night haggis, Hogmanay or indeed any beef or game dishes; this mashed potato is delicious and very nutritious. It contains onions as well as oats, for a mashed potato recipe which is delightfully different! The word "skirlie" is the name of the oatmeal and onion compound that is added to the mashed potatoes, as you have to "skirl" it around the pan! Skirlie is often used as a base for stuffing, and is made and eaten in Northern England, as well as in Scotland. This recipe was taken from BBC Good Food, January 2006.

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 kg floury potato
85 g butter
2 onions, finely chopped
50 g medium oatmeal (not flakes)
6 tablespoons double cream
salt
white pepper
fresh curly-leaf parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes until very tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the skirlie. Heat the butter in a frying pan, add the onion and cook for 10 mins until golden and soft. Add the oatmeal and stir until the butter is absorbed and the mix looks dry. Continue cooking until the skirlie is toasted, stirring (skirling round the pan) all the time for 5 mins, but do not let it catch and burn. Remove and keep warm.
  • Drain the potatoes, return to the hot pan and mash really well. Beat in the cream, parsley and skirlie, then season to taste with salt and white pepper.
  • Serve immediately before the skirlie softens, with haggis or any beef and game dishes.

Tips:

  • For a smoother texture, peel the potatoes before boiling. Russet potatoes are best for mashing because of their high starch content.
  • Do not overcook the potatoes, as this will make them gummy.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly before mashing. Any excess water will make the potatoes watery and bland.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you don't have one of these tools, use a fork or potato masher and mash until there are no lumps.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and butter. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chives. Cheese and Bacon can also be added according to your preference.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately. They are best when they are hot and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Scottish Kilkenny is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes, and it is also a great way to add some extra flavor to your meals. Next time you are looking for a new way to serve mashed potatoes, try Scottish Kilkenny. You won't be disappointed.
