New potatoes with a mascarpone cream

Serves 6

Ingredients

4-5 potatoes each
250g tub mascarpone cheese
25g/1 oz unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic
Sprig of thyme
5floz/150ml cream
salt & pepper

Method

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water until tender.
• Place the unpeeled garlic cloves in a small pan and barely cover with water.
• Bring to the boil and then simmer for 2-3 minutes. Strain and cool the cloves under cold water. (Using this method takes away the harshness of the garlic).
• Peel the cloves and slice as finely as possible.
• Melt the butter, cream and mascarpone together. Stir in the thyme and garlic. If the sauce is very thick, add a little more cream.
