  • Add bay leaves, peppercorns and parsley and sauté again. Use the rest of the red wine to deglaze. Add salt and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes

Mashed potatoes:

  • Bring the potatoes to the boil in water with 1 tablespoon of salt. Cook until tender.
  • Drain, let the potatoes evaporate briefly and then grate or press. Salt, stir in the cream and mash until the puree has a fine consistency.
