A creamy pommes purée-style mash made with Nanna Tate potatoes is given a boost of umami thanks to a hefty amount of miso paste folded into the mixture. Topped with a bright mixture of lemon zest, spring onion, capers and chives to cut through the richness, this is a restaurant-quality side dish that really steals the show.

Drain the potatoes in a colander, then leave them to steam-dry for a few minutes. Meanwhile, gently warm the cream and mustard in a saucepan over a low heat

Mash the potatoes (ideally using a potato ricer) until completely smooth, incorporating the butter (saving around 20g of it for later) and miso while you work. Fold in the warm cream to create a smooth, creamy mash. Season well with salt and pepper
