This was one of the "wow"-recipes of this world tour! We fell in love with the taste at first bite. What can I say - I'll make this again often for sure! Thanks for sharing :)<br/>Made for ZWT 8 / Great Britain for the Lively Lemon Lovelies

Excellent British recipe. The mashed potatoes came out nice and creamy. I love the step of heating the milk, it really works well for mashed potatoes. I enjoyed the addition of peas and mint for a nice change of pace from the ordinary mashed potatoes. Made for ZWT8 Great Britain region. Thanks!

What can I say....My all time 2 favourite vegetables, rolled into one. My DS & I always mix our pea's with my potatoes when they are served, and DH justs sit's and watches the 2 of us create this mashy mesh to eat and shakes his head in shame! lol<br/>BUT now here is the recipe that does it for you!<br/>I used minted peas, and some dried mint as I did not have any fresh mint, ohhhh and cream and followed the recipe as written......... Ohhhh so smooth and creamy and just divine!!!! DS and I adored these Boomette.<br/>I will be making this recipe a lot more often now! <br/>Thanks for another amazing recipe Boomette.

I had some fresh mint that I wasnt sure what to do with...so I made this recipe. Very easy to do, and a tasty side dish.
