Gather Your Ingredients
To make this comforting dish, you’ll need:
- 500g of good mashing potatoes, peeled and chopped into same-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1/4 cup of cream
- 150g of grated cheese (whatever you have on hand will do)
- 1 tin of tuna in oil (olive oil is best, but any oil will work)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- Salt, pepper, and dried chili flakes (optional)
Let’s Get Cooking!
To start, boil the potatoes in salted water until they’re tender, which should take around 10-15 minutes. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the rest of your ingredients.
Mashing Time
Once the potatoes are done, drain them and start mashing with butter and cream until they’re smooth and creamy. Then, stir in the tuna (including the oil if it’s olive oil), onion, and cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste.
Finishing Touches
If needed, give the mixture a quick microwave blast to ensure the cheese is melted and everything is hot and cozy. And that’s it! Enjoy your comforting bowl of tuna mashed potatoes, perfect for snuggling up on the couch with a good book or binge-watching your favorite show.
