- ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup almond flakes
- 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
- ¼ cup olive oil

Instructions
1 Place potatoes in a pot of cold, lightly salted water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain. Return to pot for a few minutes to dry off. Mash roughly with milk.
2 While potatoes are cooking, place all pesto ingredients in a blender or use a stick blender to process until smooth.
3 Mash potatoes until completely smooth. Stir in pesto roughly to give a marbled effect.
Serving suggestion
Serve mash with basil (to garnish), and with baked fish and a spinach and rocket salad.
HFG tip
For a really smooth mash, use a masher then beat with a fork.
