Ingredients
- 3.3 lbs floury potatoes , cut into even chunks
- ½ cup skim milk
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 tbsp crème fraîche or sour cream
Method
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and boil for about 15 mins or until tender. Transfer to a colander and drain well, then return to the pan and set over a very low heat for 2 mins to dry completely.
Heat the milk and butter in a small pan, then pour over the potatoes. Remove from the heat, then mash potatoes using a hand mixer or potato masher. Tip in the crème fraîche or sour cream, and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.
