Crushed kipflers

5.Place kipflers in a large saucepan of water. Bring to the boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain well.

6.Heat butter and oil in same pan on medium. Saute eschalots for 1-2 minutes until tender. Return potatoes to pan and use a potato masher to crush potatoes until almost smooth. Mix in onion and parsley. Season to taste.
