Brian McDermott's winter warmer recipes - as heard on The Claire Byrne Show on RTÉ Radio 1.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 1kg potatoes
- 100ml milk
- 75g cream
- 50g butter
- pinch ground white
- pinch nutmeg
Method
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Cook the potatoes in boiling water until soft. When potatoes are cooked, drain the cooking water off and return potatoes to the heat for 1 minute to evaporate further moisture.
- In a separate saucepan heat the milk, cream and butter until the butter is melted.
- Season the potatoes with white ground pepper and nutmeg. Start to mash the potatoes and when mashed add in the liquid and return potatoes to the heat and continue to mash constantly until you have no lumps.
- You should have a creamy smooth mash.
Brian's Top Tip: Cut potatoes in half for a quicker cooking time.
