Receta Basil Mash with Olive & Caper Peperonata
This, from Denis Cotter of Cafe Paradiso in Cork, is comfort food any time of the year you can find great potatoes and peppers. He uses spring onions; I have substituted scallions because they are easier to find but if you have spring onions available, use 2. I also use non-fat milk, but I doubt Chef Cotter does.
