SKIRLIE MASH



Skirlie mash image

'Skirlie' is a Scottish word for toasted oatmeal, which gives a crunchy texture to mashed potato - try this as a side dish at your Hogmanay celebration

Provided by Nick Nairn

Categories     Dinner, Side dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1kg floury potato
85g butter
2 onions , finely chopped
50g pinhead or medium oatmeal (not flakes)
6 tbsp double cream
handful curly parsley , chopped

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes until very tender, about 20 mins. Meanwhile, make the skirlie. Heat the butter in a frying pan, add the onion and cook for 10 mins until golden and soft. Add the oatmeal and stir until the butter is absorbed and the mix looks dry. Continue cooking until the skirlie is toasted, stirring (skirling round the pan) all the time for 5 mins, but do not let it catch and burn. Remove and keep warm.
  • Drain the potatoes, return to the hot pan and mash really well. Beat in the cream, parsley and skirlie, then season to taste. Serve immediately before the skirlie softens.

SCOTTISH SKIRLIE



Scottish Skirlie image

In Scotland Skirlie is traditionally served with Scotch broth and other soups and stews. Oats have been for centuries the most important grain crop, and even in the days of Samuel Johnson were believed to be the source of strength in the Scottish people.

  • Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water and bring them to a boil. Add a large pinch of salt and boil over moderately high heat until the potatoes are tender, about 35 minutes. Oil an 8-inch square glass baking dish.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, melt the butter. Add the shallot and garlic and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the bacon and cook until most of the fat has been rendered, about 3 minutes. Add the oats and cook, stirring, until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and thyme.
  • Drain the potatoes and peel them. Halve each potato crosswise. Working over a bowl, pass the hot potatoes through a ricer. Alternatively, mash the potatoes by hand until smooth. Stir in the oat mixture and season with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Bring the potato mixture to room temperature. Cut the potato mixture into 4 squares, then cut each square in half again. Carefully lift the cakes out of the dish with an offset metal spatula. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil until shimmering. Spread the flour in a shallow bowl and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Carefully dredge each potato cake in the flour; shake off any excess. Add the potato cakes to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until browned, about 2 minutes. Turn the cakes and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet. Cook the cakes until richly browned and heated through, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the potato cakes to a platter and serve hot.
