Per-ingredient cost is the amount this recipe uses at the lowest Canadian price we have on file; the per-serving total above adds the range up to the dearest price and for buying whole packages.
Method
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 5 cm, so they cook at the same rate.
- Put them in a pot, cover with cold salted water, bring to a boil and simmer 15-20 minutes until a knife slides in with no resistance.
- Drain well and let them steam dry in the hot pot for a minute — wet potatoes make gluey mash.
- Mash with the butter first, then add the milk a splash at a time until it is as loose as you like it.
- Season with salt and pepper and taste before serving; potatoes take more salt than you expect.
