Herby Potato Pudding

This potato pudding with herbs makes a nice change from ordinary mashed potato. Instead of parsley and thyme you could try other herbs such as chopped marjoram or garlic chives. Serve with gravy or if you prefer, mushroom or onion sauce. Herby potato pudding is nice with any roast or grilled meat and cooked vegetables of your choice.
