Saffron-Corn Mashed Potatoes

This vibrant saffron and sweetcorn mashed potato recipe offers a sophisticated twist on a classic British side dish. By infusing milk with delicate saffron threads and sweet, golden corn, you create a beautiful yellow hue and a subtle, honeyed aroma that transforms humble potatoes into something truly special. The addition of sautéed onion and garlic provides a savoury depth that perfectly balances the natural sweetness of the fresh kernels.

As a versatile vegetarian dish, these potatoes pair beautifully with roasted vegetables, Mediterranean-style stews, or a simple grilled protein. Steeping the saffron ensures the spice's unique flavour permeates every spoonful, making it an excellent choice for a dinner party or a comforting weekend meal. It is an easy yet impressive way to bring a touch of sunshine to your dinner table with minimal extra effort.
