Christmas Recipes - Roast local partridge with creamed potato & roast root vegetables
Roast local partridge with creamed potato & roast root vegetables
Serves 4
MethodPreheat oven to 170�C.
1. Dice all the vegetables to the same size and place them into a roasting tray, season with salt and pepper and add a good splash of olive oil before mixing, then place into the oven.
2. Whilst the vegetables are roasting, put your potatoes into a pan with the skins still on. Cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt and bring them to the boil, then simmer until cooked. Cooking in the skins will giveyou a drier mash which is easier to work with when adding butter and cream, leaving a richer taste.

3. Once cooled remove from the heat and drain using a cloth. Peel off the outside skins and mash well, slowly adding as much or as little butter and cream- according to your preference.
4. Once your root vegetables are nearly cooked, add the golden syrup and continue to roast for 10 minutes before removing from the oven.
