• Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Peel the potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook the potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan. • Add the butter(for the mash), the milk and a generous pinch of salt. Mash until smooth and cover to keep warm.
