Traditional Irish Mash PotatoIt is enriched with a wickedly indulgent amount of butter! To make it more indulgence, replace 60ml/4 tbsp of the milk with buttermilk. Best serve as an accompaniment to beef or lamb stew. The dish is very light and fluffy, which is great to create fabulous, mouthwatering result for children especially.

Ingredients:
1kg potatoes (cut into chunks)
300ml milk
1 bunch spring onions (thinly sliced, plus extra to garnish)
115g or 1/2 cup salted butter
some salt
ground black pepper
- Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Drain and mash the potatoes with a fork until smooth.
- Mix the milk, spring onions and half the butter in a small pan and set over a low heat until just simmering.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the butter has melted and the spring onions have softened.
- Beat the milk mixture into the mashed potato using a wooden spoon until it is light and fluffy.
- Reheat gently and add ground black pepper for seasoning.
- Turn the potato into a warmed serving dish and make a well in the centre to place the remaining butter in the well and let it melt.
- Sprinkle with extra spring onion and serve immediately.
