INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Put the potatoes into a saucepan and just cover with cold water. Add in the salt, cover and bring to a simmer over a high heat.
2. Let the potatoes simmer for around 15 minutes, or until a table knife slides into the potato easily, and the potato slides straight off again.
3. Drain the potatoes and leave them to dry in the sieve for around 3 minutes, suspended over their cooking pan, covered with a tea towel.
4. Using a spatula, push the potatoes through the sieve, adding in the butter as you mash them (alternatively, use a potato ricer). This will help coat the starch particles and keep them fluffy.
5. Warm the cream in a small saucepan and add into the mashed potatoes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve hot.
Recipe Tips
You can add ingredients to your mash to complement your dish. Try wholegrain mustard with rack of lamb, chopped chives with sea bream and caramelised red onions with bangers.
