Beef stroganoff & mashed potato

The first real foray into a Thermomix made meal. And what a success!!! Both recipes were from the TM (I am getting used to the jargon) Everyday Cookbook. We had to have the instruction manual open to identify different parts of the Thermomix required for the recipe.

Beef stroganoff
Firstly, the Beef stroganoff worked a treat. So easy! I added extra vegetables as we normally have a minimum of 5 different vegetables every meal.  The stroganoff was made 90 minutes before serving and kept in the Thermoserver. Wow! It was still steaming hot at serving. Leftovers in the freezer for a quick weekday reheat meal.

Mashed potato
The mashed potato was interesting. Creamy, smooth and lovely, just had the consistency of paste. I halved the recipe as there was no way the three of us would eat 1kg of potato. It was very thick and sticky. Some tweaking of the recipe will be needed.
