Fluffy Mashed Potatoes

These deliciously fluffy mashed potatoes are an ideal side dish for our Lamb Shanks Recipe.

Instructions:

1. Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks, around 4-5 cm cubes.
2. Rinse the potato chunks in a bowl of cold water, changing the water two or three times until it runs clear.
3. Pour the 2 L of water into a large pot (if big enough, the pressure cooker pot will suffice), and bring to a boil over high heat.
4. Put in potatoes and cook for 15-18 minutes, until tender.
5. Drain potatoes in a strainer. Rinse under hot, running water for 30-40 seconds.
6. If using a ricer or food mill, put either over the pot and pass potatoes through.
7. If using a masher, return the potatoes to the pot and mash them until smooth.
8. Add the milk and fold the butter in gently with a wooden or rubber spatula, until thoroughly combined.
9. Season the mashed potatoes with kosher salt and pepper.
10. Serve warm with braised lamb shanks or other dishes.
