Creamy Mashed Potato

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Place in a large pot with 1 tbsp salt. Add water so it’s 10cm / 4” above potatoes.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat so it’s simmering rapidly. Cook 15 minutes or until potatoes are very soft (jab with fork to test, they should fall apart).

3. 3

   Drain well, return into pot. Leave for 1 minute, shaking pot every now and then, to encourage evaporation of water.

4. 4

   Add Flavourings then mash well, using milk to make it looser if desired.

5. 5

   DO NOT use: a beater, stick blender, food processor or blender. You can pulse with a stand mixer or handheld mixer but be cautious, stop as soon as it's creamy (potatoes will quickly go from perfect to gluey using appliances).

6. 6

   Transfer to serving bowl, make pretty swirls across the top and drizzle over butter. Sprinkle with chives then serve!
