Endive Mash with Bacon
A traditional Dutch mash with raw, crisp green endive and crispy fried bacon bits. Simple and hearty dinner.
Method
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into equal pieces. Boil them in salted water for 20 minutes until tender. Drain and reserve a cup of the cooking water.
- Fry the bacon bits in a dry pan over medium heat for about 7 minutes until crispy. Drain on kitchen paper and keep the bacon fat.
- Mash the potatoes with the bacon fat and a bit of the cooking water. Stir in the raw endive and season with nutmeg, pepper, and salt.
- Divide the mash onto plates and sprinkle the bacon bits on top.
Veggie swap. Replace the bacon bits with cubes of cheese.
Tip. Save some cooking water to make the mash creamier.
