Mashed Potato

Firstly remove any shoots from the potatoes.
Wash potatoes and peel them
Cut the potatoes into pieces and put them into a pot of boiling water
Bring the pot to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
Using a colander, drain off and discard the water and return the potatoes to the pot.
Add milk to the pot and put back onto the heat until it boils.
Add butter to the potato and mash well. (Remove the pot from the heat to mash)

Mashed potato can be seasoned with many things for a flavour change, try....
Fresh herbs like Parsley or Basil; they give a wonderful aroma and they taste great.
Finely chopped Onion or Spring Onion, or Ham/Bacon, or Garlic and Olive Oil.
Or combinations of the above.
