We conclude spice-fusion week with these wasabi-laced potatoes. The addition of just one flavour-packed ingredient really can elevate a recipe to new heights.

Ingredients

Uncooked potato

4 medium, peeled and cut into large chunks (about 2 lbs)

2% reduced fat milk

½ cup(s)

Wasabi powder

1 tsp(s), or more to taste

Reduced-fat sour cream

2 tbsp(s)

Salted butter

1 tbsp(s)

Chives

1 tbsp(s), fresh, minced

Table salt

½ tsp(s)

Instructions

  1. Boil potatoes in a large pot of water over high heat until very tender when pricked with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes; drain and mash potatoes with a hand masher or electric mixer.
  2. Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes; add wasabi powder and stir to dissolve. Add milk mixture, sour cream, butter, chives and salt to potatoes; stir to combine. Yields a generous 1/2 cup per serving.
