Ingredients

  • Potato 900 g
  • Chicken Broth 150 g
  • Onion 100 g
  • Pickle 80 g
  • Parsley 25 g
  • Salt q.s.
  • Black Pepper q.s.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick slices. Steam over boiling water for 15–20 minutes, until a chopstick can easily pierce through. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly.

Finely chop the onion, pickles, and parsley. Bring the chicken broth to a boil, then let it cool. Squeeze fresh lemon juice.

Mash the potatoes, leaving some larger chunks for texture. Add the onion, pickles, parsley, and lemon juice, and mix well.

Gradually add the chicken broth in small amounts, stirring each time until fully absorbed by the potatoes, until the mash reaches your desired consistency.

Taste and adjust with more lemon juice or salt if needed. Add freshly ground black pepper and mix well.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Discussion

  1. The potatoes can be cooked using any method, such as boiling, microwaving, or baking in the oven.

  2. Red onions will give a sharper flavor and a more vibrant color. The pickles can also be substituted with Chinese pickled mustard greens, which are equally delicious.

  3. The amount of chicken broth is for reference only. Different potato varieties and cooking methods will affect how much liquid is needed. Adding the broth gradually and mixing well each time makes it easier to judge the right consistency.
