gluten-free optionkid-friendlyquick and easy

Ingredients

Serves: 2–4

Method

  1. Peel and chop potatoes. Adding them to a pot of room temperature water and the salt
  2. Quarter the garlic cloves and add them to the pot
  3. Boil until soft, then drain and add back to the pot
  4. Add sour cream, stock powder, butter and salt and pepper

TIP: It may surprise you to learn that many brands of chicken stock are vegan friendly! It’s all in the herbs, spices and natural vegetable flavourings. Just look out for a ‘plant-based’ or ‘vegan’ label on the pack or check the ingredients to be sure.
