Method
- Peel the potatoes, cut them into even pieces and boil in water with the salt for 15 to 20 minutes, until they fall apart when pressed with a fork. Warm the milk without boiling it.
- Drain the potatoes well, return them to the pot and set over low heat for 1 minute to dry.
- Mash with a masher or food mill (not a stick blender, which makes the purée gluey). Add the butter and stir until melted.
- Add the hot milk gradually, stirring with a wooden spoon until creamy. Season with grated nutmeg and check the salt. Serve hot.
Shopping tip
Floury potatoes (labelled for purée) make a lighter mash. For a lactose-free version, use lactose-free milk and olive oil instead of butter.
