Creamed potato

For creamed potato, you will need:

8 medium-sized white-fleshed potatoes (maris piper or similar)

50g butter

50ml cream

50ml milk

salt and pepper

(serves 4)

Peel and cut the potatoes into large chunks. Put in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil and simmer until cooked (check if you can put a fork through the potato with ease). Drain. In a separate pan, warm the butter, milk and cream, but do not boil. Add this mixture to the potato and mash with a vegetable masher until smooth (you can also use a food processor for this). Add salt and pepper to taste.
