What you need
- 750 g potatoes, peeled and cut into even-sized pieces. Select a floury variety such as King Edward, Desiree or Maris Piper
- 6 salad onions, trimmed and chopped
- 300 ml milk
- seasoning
- 40 g butter
Method
Put the potatoes into a pan of cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 min or until cooked.
While the potatoes are cooking, put the chopped salad onions into a pan with the milk. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 min.
Drain the poatoes. Mash with a potato masher or fork. Add the milk and onions and extra milk, if necessary, for a firm and creamy mash. Season to taste.
Put a mound of potato onto each plate. Make a well in the centre of each mound and put a lump of butter into the centre.
To eat, fork up some of the potato from around the edge and dip into the butter.
