How to make restaurant-style mash

Making smooth, creamy mash is easy - just follow these tips. To make it even easier, use floury potatoes such as Sebago or Golden Delight.

Step 1:

Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Add peeled, chopped potatoes. Cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain.

Step 2:

Return to the pan. Place over medium heat and shake for 1 minute to remove moisture. Mash until almost smooth.

Step 3:

Press the mash through a sieve over a bowl. Add a little milk or cream and stir over low heat until heated through.
