Here is another vegetarian dish that sometimes we prepare for our yoga retreats guests here in Langkawi.

Water

2 level tablespoons of Mustard for boiled potatoes

Salted or unsalted Butter for mashed potatoes

Washed the potatoes nicely. For boiled potatoes, keep the skin. For mashed potatoes, peeled the skin.

Cut potatoes into chunks and put into a pot, add room temperature water until just enough to cover all the potatoes, add about 2 heaped teaspoons of salt, and cooked for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked. If a knife sinks easily under its own weight into a potato, then it is cooked.

Drain the potatoes.

For boiled potatoes, mix with the mustards and serve hot. Add salt and pepper to taste.

For mashed potatoes, mashed the potatoes with a potato ricer or with a fork (if you don't have a potato ricer), while adding the butter (as you prefer). Serve hot. May add salt and pepper to taste. If you use salted butter, then you don't really need to add additional salt.

Bon Appétit!
