Potato Sauce

Potato Sauce – the words do not encourage immediate epicurean feelings. But this, based on a sauce served at the Cipriani in Venice, has the advantage of good visual appeal – a rich cream flecked with saffron – as well as an agreeable affinity with a variety of foods. The dominant flavour is garlic; it is good with seafood, chicken and lamb, and makes an interesting alternative to ‘mash’ with ‘bangers’.
