Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Milk
• 6 tbsps Butter
• 1 kgs Potatoes
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1. Peel and quarter the potatoes, then add to a large pot and cover with water.
2. Add some salt and bring to a boil for about 20-25 minutes.
3. Drain the potatoes and return to very low heat.
4. Add hot milk and the butter and start mashing with a potato masher or put them through a potato ricer, smoothing out all the lumps.
5. Transfer to a warm bowl and whisk until light and fluffy, adding more milk, if necessary, and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot.

Tip: A very stale loaf of bread can be considerably freshened by dipping it in milk or water (or a mixture of the two) for about a minute. After this, put it into the oven to crisp for about fifteen minutes.
