Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Use a combination of starchy and waxy potatoes for the best texture. Starchy potatoes, such as Russets or Yukon Golds, will break down and create a smooth, creamy mash, while waxy potatoes, such as Red Potatoes or New Potatoes, will hold their shape and add a bit of texture.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will make the rumbledethumps gluey.
  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: The vegetables you use in your rumbledethumps will vary depending on what is in season. Some popular choices include carrots, leeks, cabbage, and turnips.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices: A classic rumbledethumps recipe will typically include salt, pepper, and chives, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste. Some popular choices include thyme, rosemary, sage, and paprika.
  • Serve rumbledethumps hot or cold: Rumbledethumps can be served hot or cold, making it a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Conclusion:

Rumbledethumps is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give rumbledethumps a try.
