Ingredients
- 1 kg Maris Piper potatoes peeled and chopped
- 30 ml Whole milk
- 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper
- 75 g Butter chopped
- 2 tablespoon Creme fraiche
Instructions
- Add 1 kg Maris Piper potatoes to a pan of boiling water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 13-15 minutes. The time depends on the size you have chopped the potatoes.
- Drain and mash the potatoes and then add 75 g Butter, 30 ml Whole milk, 2 tablespoon Creme fraiche. Season with 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper.
- Serve topped with chives and chopped spring onions (scallions); (optional).
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. Cooking them low and slow will break down the skins, but still keep the fibre.
