Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    4.5/5 So easy and very tasty! The basil makes this taste a little lighter than normal mashed potatoes (at least for me). Lovely flavor profile. Paired with chicken with shallots from earlier in the book.

    I used a stand mixer with paddle attachment to beat the potatoes. I needed to reheat them afterwards. Potatoes were very thick. Really delicious! Although the potatoes were green, the basil and parmesan flavors were not as bold as you might expect.

    The flavour on this is quite nice, but the colour is more like speckled mash than the green puree she has in her picture. You used teh wand mixer to blend the basil, maybe a food processor would help achieve the colour.
