The Perfect Mashed Potato?

lil_me

My godsend is my potato ricer too, I can make edible mash with it. I never add milk unless I am piping it, just salt and pepper then family add their own butter if they want it.

I third the vote for using a potato ricer. I then melt some milk and butter in the microwave and mix in with salt and pepper. Yum.

Make loads - freeze some and also keep some in the fridge - it reheats brilliantly.
Varitations - mustard mash (add some grained mustard - brill with beef), pesto mash (add some pesto)

I used the beater attachments on my electric whisk to mash tatties up, just add a little butter to them,I don't add milk as I think it makes it taste like smash (yuk)

thank you, will invest in a potato ricer tomorrow! Another question, what is the best way to reheat mash??

I add some nutmeg to mine. Might be a German thing because my Mum does it but I love it!

Must have been a James Martin recipe.

He really loves his butter.
