Instructions
-
- Prepare your preferred mashed potato recipe until completion. For optimal results, warm butter and cream together before gently incorporating into the potatoes, seasoning with salt during the folding process. This method ensures uniform seasoning, eliminates the need for reheating, and reduces the risk of over-mixing.
- Gently fold in the zesty Meyer lemon peel, cracked hazelnuts, fragrant hazelnut oil, and freshly chopped marjoram. Top the dish with finely grated hazelnuts, lemon zest, and additional herbs. Adjust seasoning to your taste, and serve hot.
- The vibrant citrus notes beautifully complement the fruity accents of Jordan Chardonnay, while the nutty hazelnuts enhance the wine's delicate oak undertones.
