Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 cups dried beans -- such as cannellini or red kidney
1 bay leaf
1 bunch fresh parsley
1 1/2 pounds medium potatoes -- quartered
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup diced cooked bacon -- pork crackling
2 garlic cloves -- crushed
Salt

Place beans in large pot, cover with plenty of cold water and soak at
least 5 hours, or overnight.

Drain and re-cover with fresh cold water. Add bay leaf and parsley, and
bring to a boil. Boil hard 10 minutes, then reduce heat and cover pan.
Simmer about 45 minutes, or until beans are tender. Drain well.

Meanwhile, cook potatoes in boiling water 20 minutes, until tender. Drain
and return them to the pan. Add butter, cream and beans and mash
vegetables until smooth. Alternatively, put them through a potato ricer to
make a smooth purée.

Stir in the crackling or bacon and garlic with a little salt to taste,
then pile the mash into a bowl to serve.
