Ingredients
- 2 tbsp grey North Sea shrimp (peeled)
- 5,5 oz waxy potatoes (155 g)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- ΒΌ cup buttermilk (60 ml)
- 2 tsp sour cream optional
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, chopped finely
- 1 egg
- pepper
- salt
Instructions
-
Peel and chop the potatoes. Transfer them to a medium saucepan with salted water and boil them until cooked through. Then drain the potato and add them back to the pan with half of the butter and the sour cream (optional).
-
Mash the potatoes. Add the freshly chopped parsley or chives, pour in the buttermilk and season with a little pepper and salt.
-
Mash the potatoes again. Check the seasoning and add extra pepper and salt to taste if necessary. Then cover the buttermilk mash and put it aside for now. Fill a small saucepan with water. Bring it to a gentle boil. Then add the egg.
-
Then poach the egg for 4 minutes.
-
This is the classic way to poach eggs. You can also use my cling film method, very easy! In the meantime melt the remaining butter in a small pan until lightly nutty. Don't burn it! Scoop the buttermilk mashed potatoes in a deep plate. Top with the poached egg and sprinkle with the grey shrimp. Drizzle with the melted butter, extra chopped chives or parsley and some pepper and salt. Serve hot.
