The apples in this recipe are incorporated into the potato. Pears can be substituted for the apples. This purée makes a good accompaniment to duck, goose or a roast of pork. You can add a little sugar, but it is not necessary. I sometimes add a little lemon juice.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) potatoes, peeled and boiled
  • 1 lb (450

Method

Cut the unpeeled apples into pieces, put into a pan with 2 oz (50 g) of the butter and cook very gently until the apples are soft. Put through a sieve. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes. Drain and purée,
