Add Mustard To Your Mashed Potatoes For A Burst Of Lively Flavor
By Riya Anne Polcastro
If you enjoy the sharpness of sour cream and garlic in your mashed potatoes, then there is a good chance you'll also enjoy a few dollops of mustard.
Depending on your tastebuds, you can add just enough to give a little hint of flavor or go for more and give those potatoes a big zesty kick.
With so many different types of mustard to choose from, you can experiment with whichever you like best, mixing and matching as you see fit.
Whole grain and stone-ground mustard are both coarse and will add a bit of a grainy texture, whereas the standard bright yellow American and Dijon mustards will not.
Dijon and whole grain are commonly found in mustard mashed potatoes recipes, and some even call for both. It's hard to imagine going wrong with any of them.
Enjoy mustard mashed potatoes with turkey, cranberry sauce, sausages, asparagus, or red meat. Consider adding sautéed onions and steamed cauliflower, as well.
