Mashed potatoes

Steak and mashed potatoes – can you name a more classic food combination than that?

Mashed potatoes are usually made with boiled potatoes.

Drizzle melted butter on top before serving the mashed potatoes with your cubed steak, and you’ve got one indulgent meal.

Try making these roasted mashed potatoes, made even tastier with the addition of lemon zest and garlic.

Pro tip: Leave the skins on your potatoes for that extra roasted flavor.

The slaw is tied together with a zingy sesame ginger dressing that will knock your socks off.
