Ingredients
- 1kg potatoes
- 60ml hot milk
- 75g butter, softened (could do half oil/half butter)
- 1 egg yolk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Instead of using boiled potatoes, I prefer to use cooked potato flesh scooped from baked potatoes. Because they haven’t been cooked with water, the finished result won’t end up being wet. It takes a little more effort but the results are worth it. Alternatively, you could boil the potatoes, then dry them in a colander on a tray in the oven.
- I mash my potatoes using a potato ricer to get smoother results.
- Then gradually introduce hot milk, followed by an egg yolk and softened butter or olive oil.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
