It’s been awhile since I tackled a hardcore hobbit project, last night I delved into one. The masterful mash mentioned in the game takes a tater, a wheel of sharp cheese, and seasonings. Well, in the efforts of being healthy I didn’t go with a whole wheel of cheese but enough to get the taste of it. This is a delicious side dish or an ingredient for a decadent cottage or shepherds pie.
- 4 potatoes, washed and cubed. Peel if you like. I leave the skins on because I like potato skins.
- 3 tbl shaved parmesan. Not the powder stuff folks like to call parmesan.
- 4 tbl fat free sour cream
- 1 tbl chives
- Pepper to taste
- Place the potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and boil for 20 minutes. Check to make sure they are fork tender. Drain.
- Add remaining ingredients and mash. Serve.
This makes enough for 4 servings. Each serving contains 151 calories, 1.2 grams of fat and 3.8 grams of fiber. A nice filling side dish with much more flavour than boring old mashed potato. It gets a nice consistency by just using the ingredients that flavour it, no extra cream, butter or milk required. We have been known to indulge a little and split this in two instead of the four servings. It’s just that tasty and good for you. A tasty variation we enjoy is to substitute the pepper and chives for a tablespoon of montreal steak spice. So very good!

Glad to hear it! They sure seem tasty each time my hobbit makes them. They just had to be done irl!
These are great! My 4 little hobbits at home loved them! Good job and an awesome recipe.
How about tackling a lembas recipe next? That would be wonderful!
Oooo! I love that other hobbits are loving this recipe too!
I have definitely been eyeing the lembas as a possible next recipe to conquer. It looks tasty and perfect for second breakfast!
I’ll be looking foward to it! Even my youngest fussiest hobbit loved them! I add extra carrot, peas and corn because it’s so easy to hide in the mash…. ah the wonders of decieving a three-year-old.
Your site is wonderful. I’ll definatley be a regular visitor!
I agree Lianna, WOOT lembas! And Hungryhoobit, great recipe!
Thanks Denia!
