English Translation

Stwns literally means 'mash' and was a popular North Walian dish (and remains so in agricultural communities). Indeed, it's the accompaniment of choice for liver and onions to this day. The traditional form is swede mash, but my grandfather loved carrot mash and I still make this version and parsnip mash to this day.

Ingredients:

225g potatoes, peeled
225g carrots or swedes or turnips or parsnips, peeled
45g butter
salt and black pepper
buttermilk

Method:

Cut the potatoes and vegetables into 3cm portions. Place in salted water, bring to a boil and cook for about 35 minutes, or until soft. Drain return to the pot, add the butter and season then mash. Add enough buttermilk for the mixture to become creamy then serve as an accompaniment to liver or other meat dishes.
