mmm thanks sir Alec, do you think prawns or other seafood would be ok and if so how would i cook it, dont want rubbery things in it!

Buy frozen cooked prawns. Only need to defrost and warm gently, or add to hot food, then they wont go rubbery. Or......
Put 1tbs olive oil in a bowl. Add juice of half a lemon, a pinch of salt and quarter tsp english mustard. Mix well and add the prawns. It sounds strong for prawns, but is delicious! I use it for salads.

Hi bubbles,

If you want variations on normal mashed potato:

Olive oil and roasted garlic

Horseradish

Crispy bacon and sauteed leeks

Chilli, olive oil and basil

Pesto

Dijon/wholegrain mustard

Mashed sweet potatoes with a dollop of creme fraiche

Potato rosti

roasted sweet potato

and loads more on uktv food's website too

I use it for salads. Sorry for the delay, my computer has sat here with the egg timer showing now for 10 mins! Don't know why this happens.
Aunt Bessies frozen mash mixed with Iceland frozen diced onion. Ten mins in micro. Trust me, its fab.
How weird! There was no sign that my answers were going through. Apologies for the repetition. Had to "turn it off and on again".

thanks for your great ideas. do you mean cook the prawns as said first then put them in the mash?
noknowledge, the French have been cooking Lyonnaise potatoes for donkeys years. Are they wrong?

If i'm boiling a pan of potatoes to mash i often sling a couple of sweet potatoes in (halfway through, they don't take long) x
im a chef and i put boiled carrots or turnip through the potato.the best way to do it is put the mashed potato in a liquidizer add the carrots or turnip add some butter then blitz for a few seconds.
