SIDE Ale-Whipped Potatoes & Peas
Yield 8-10 servings
Adding ale to whipped potatoes gives this dish a really nice depth of flavor while still being light and airy. Sour cream helps to give it its richness and peas lend a gorgeous color to the whole shebang.
Ingredients
5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
½-1 bottle ale
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup sour cream
2 tsp each salt & pepper
½ pkg peas, frozen
*Reserve two cups of this for the Guinness Pie
Instructions
- In a large pot of water boil potatoes until soft.
- Drain and in a large bowl of an electric mixer (or a blender), add half the ale, garlic, sour cream & salt + pepper and whip with a whisk until fluffy and completely smooth. If too thick, add more ale as needed, remembering that you can always add but you can’t take away!
- Add peas to hot potatoes and let sit five minutes before serving.
