Ingredients
Scale
- 1kg potatoes (Maris Piper or Yukon Gold recommended)
- 50g butter
- 100ml milk (or cream for extra richness)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 tbsp fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. This ensures they cook at the same rate.
- Boil the Potatoes: Place the potato chunks in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a knife.
- Drain the Potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them steam for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
- Mash the Potatoes: Return the potatoes to the saucepan or a mixing bowl. Add the butter and milk (or cream). Use a potato masher or ricer to mash until smooth and creamy.
- Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with fresh chives or parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
