Serving suggestions
User:Robin's serving suggestion:
Serve with some mayonnaise, mixed with lots of very finely chopped onion and a good amount of wasabi-paste. (There isn't any onion in the wasabi mayonnaise in the photo, but trust me, it's nicer with it.)
Chef's notes
When you make mash, make double or treble the amount and freeze the remainder in single or double portion plastic bags. Great for recipes like this!
