Instructions
- Put the chopped potatoes into a pan. Cover in boiling water.
- Bring to the boil again. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
- Once cooked, return to the hob and let steam dry.
- Mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.
- Leave to cool and transfer to a bowl. Cover tightly and refrigerate. This will keep in the fridge for 2 days.
- When you are ready to serve the potatoes, put the cream and butter into a pan. Gently heat until the butter has melted, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the potatoes, continuing to heat gently. Season to taste.
Notes
- Cut all the potatoes to the same size to ensure that they all cook the same.
- If you prefer chunky mashed potatoes, then don't over mash them. We like ours really creamy and fluffy.
- We find using a potato masher is fine, however if you like really smooth potatoes then you can use a potato ricer.
- Add salt and pepper at the end to season, that way you can taste them and add more if you prefer.
- You don't have to peel the potatoes, and leaving the skin on will save even more time and still keep the fibre.
