Hi am cooking hubby special birthday tea tonight and recently had a love kumura mash while eating out. Has any one got any tips on any extra goodies that can be added to it to make itspecial or is it just made like potatoes, butter and milk mashed. Help appreciated...

Herbs if you like the flavour, as much seasoning as you like.

If you warm the milk before adding it, it will help the mash to stop going sticky. Orange is always nice with kumara, so perhaps a wee dash of orange juice or a little orange zest mixed through.

Really nice with chives - dried or fresh, butter, s & p and hot milk!I add parsley to most of my mashes too.

before you even cook it, once you have chopped it and put it in the pot, rinse it under the tap until the water in the pot has gone clear and all the free floating starch has gone... this will stop it going gluggy and gluie when you mash it, makes a smoother less sticky mash.

I bake the kumera in the oven for an hour then take out & peel. Seems to be creamier than peeling & boiling like you would do with potatoes.

What I do is cook & mash the kumera with1 tin crushed pineapple. Fry up some onions, add to mash. Put into baking dish and cover with grated cheese. Warm in oven until cheese is melted. Yum.
