If you have a fridge you could thaw the mash in there and then heat up on the hob and add the butter.

I am thinking about camp cooking for 50 people. We will have an oven but no microwave.

Add me to the list of people who’d never considered frozen mash before. I’m impressed and will probably give it a go for anything like this in future. I love the look of your recipe; the sauces and seasoning sound delicious!

Now this is interesting! I will admit I tend to walk past any frozen packs of mince due to my own encounter many moons ago at uni – Might be worth giving it another try a couple *cough* of years later.

Through the #PowerofFrozen campaign I’ve really been made aware of how much Iceland has changed for the better recently. They are constantly upping their culinary game, and I have genuinely been stopping in to help with my shopping. Your recipe shows how quality meals can be made from frozen ingredients. Lovely job, Camilla. 🙂
