Boiled Collar of Bacon on Mustard Mashed Potatoes with Chive Liquor

I enjoy boiled bacon dishes. The beauty of boiling meat is that it creates its own stock as it cooks, which then becomes the base for the sauce.

Mashed potatoes go well with this dish. I normally don’t even tamper with mash, but mustard and bacon are good friends and using them to flavour the potatoes gives them a real bite. You can choose whatever mustard you prefer, but I recommend grain, Dijon or English. My favourite is Dijon mash; not too hot but packed with flavour.
