Sunday Lunch Recipes – Creamy Mash

Creamy Mash

Last week I shared my recipe for perfect roast potatoes, which go great with a Sunday roast. This week, another potato recipe: delicious creamy mash.

What you need (serves 4)

Maris Piper potatoes, approx. 900g
150ml cream
Approx 100ml milk
100g unsalted butter
Salt & pepper

What you do 

Boil potatoes in their skins in simmering, salted water, until cooked.  Avoid overcooking and splitting the skins too much. Drain in a colander and peel whilst still warm but not hot. Pass through a sieve or ‘ricer’ into a bowl.

Boil the cream and beat into the potato, a little at a time, beating well. Beat in the butter and adjust the consistency with hot milk.  Season with salt and pepper.

I’ll share another recipe with you tomorrow.
