Potatoes are the ultimate side dish – there is so much you can do with them. Melting potatoes are crispy golden brown roast potatoes that have a beautiful creamy and almost buttery interior, thanks to the potatoes being cooked with a broth. Whilst that already sounds extraordinary, there’s actually something that is supposed to make the potatoes even better – in fact, even “perfect” them.
And this one ingredient might be new to many people. The unusual ingredient revealed on food website The Kitchn is miso paste—a traditional Japanese seasoning made from soybeans. As of now, miso paste is on a half-price offer in Sainsbury’s, costing as little as 90p.
The post reads: “One easy way to make melting potatoes even better? Add miso paste. White miso brings a deep, savoury umami flavour that enhances the buttery richness of the potatoes.”
Melting potatoes will go with pretty much anything, whether you’re making a roast dinner, a nice steak, or even a simple salad. This potato dish is the ultimate go to and with the special ingredient, your whole meal will be completely transformed.
“As they cook, the miso infuses them with a salty, slightly sweet flavour that’s seriously delicious. It’s a simple upgrade that takes this already perfect side dish to the next level,” the post continues.
Preparing melting potatoes with miso paste couldn’t be any easier and with how delicious they come out, there is no reason that homecooks should test out the dish using the Japanese seasoning.
