This popular European dish is frequently served as a side dish to accompany mains such as steaks. It is also often used as a filling in other dishes such as shepard’s pie or potato croquettes.
4 large Russet potatoes 100gm unsalted butter ½ cup hot whole milk Black pepper Salt
Method
1. Bake the potatoes in an oven at 180°C at about 1 hour. 2. Once they’re done, take them out, slice them in halves and scoop out the insides. 3. Add the potatoes in a bowl with the butter and mash them using a potato masher or a fork. 4. Don’t mash them too finely yet. Grind in a generous amount of black pepper. 5. Now pour in the hot milk and continue to mash and mix with a wooden spoon until you are satisfied with the texture. Finally, correct for salt and scoop it for serving. Top with anything you like, e.g. parsley, bacon bits, cheese, garlic.
