Classic mashed potato with butter and hot milk will bring a touch of nostalgia to tonight's dinner.
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 800g Spunta, Sebago or Coliban potatoes
- 40g butter, chopped
- 1/3 cup hot milk (see note)
- extra butter, to serve
Method
- Peel potatoes and cut into large chunks. Cook in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 20 minutes or until very tender but not falling apart.
- Drain potatoes well. Return to saucepan over low heat. Shake pan gently until any remaining water evaporates. Using a potato masher, roughly mash potatoes.
- Add butter and hot milk to potatoes. Beat with a wooden spoon until fluffy. Season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with extra butter and salt and pepper.
Notes
- To heat milk, pour into a microwave-safe jug or cup. Heat, uncovered, for 1 to 2 minutes on HIGH (100%) power or until hot.
Thats the secret, I have not tried it with the hot milk. My boys wont eat mash, maybe they will now :)
