Variations

Try other forms of canned beans or pulses. If the beans are large or have fairly tough skins, like kidney beans, crush them slightly first.

Chef's notes

You can use freshly chopped herbs instead of dried herbs; or a combination of both. Use at least double the amount of fresh herbs.

Add a good pinch of dried or fresh herbs to the mashed potatoes
