Mashed potatoes

Proper homemade mash, smooth and buttery, nothing like the instant kind.

⏱ 35 min🍽 Serves 4

Ingredients

• 🥔Potatoes1,000 g
• 🧈Butter60 g
• 🥛Milk200 ml
• •Salt
• •Pepper
• •Nutmeg

Method

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into even chunks.
2. Put them in a pan of cold salted water, bring to the boil and cook for 20 minutes until tender.
3. Drain and return them to the heat for 1 minute to dry out.
4. Warm the milk.
5. Mash the potatoes, beat in the butter, then the hot milk a little at a time.
6. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg, and serve.

💡 Tip : Never use a blender: it turns the mash gluey. A masher or a fork is all you need.
