Instructions
- Put the potatoes into a microwave safe bowl.
- Cover the bowl with clingfilm and pierce to vent. Put into the microwave and cook on high power for 8-10 minutes.
- Mash the potato. Add the milk, butter, salt and pepper and mash again.
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, but we find the texture is better if you do.
- Make sure you use a microwave safe bowl big enough for the potatoes.
