Potatoes  400g

Butter  20g

Light cream,25ml

Salt & Pepper to taste

Method

1. Peel and eye the potatoes and cut them into uniform sizes. Simmer in salted water to cover until tender.

2. Drain well and let the potatoes steam dry for a few minutes.

3. Mash the potatoes with masher. Mix until well broken up and beat until well puréed. Do not over whip, or potatoes will become pasty.

4. Beat in butter, then cream.

5. Add enough hot milk to bring potatoes to proper consistency. They should be soft and moist, but firm enough to hold their

shape, not runny.

6. Add salt and white pepper to taste.
