🧂 Ingredients

3 1/3 lb floury potatoes

such as Maris Piper, Desiree, King Edwards or Idaho
5 1/2 oz butter
1/2 pint milk
1 egg
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper

1 Peel the potatoes, cut into pieces, place in a saucepan of boiling water and
simmer for 20 minutes. Drain well, return to the pan over a low heat and,
shaking the pan, allow the excess moisture to steam off. Mash the potatoes until
smooth — for perfect mash try using a hand-held ricer.
2 Place the butter and milk in a saucepan over a medium heat and gently bring to
the boil. Slowly pour the melted butter and hot milk into the potatoes, mixing
well with a rubber spatula.
3 Break in the egg and beat. Finally, add the nutmeg and seasoning. Mix well,
taste and adjust to your personal choice.
4 Serve at once.
