method:

4 medium pontiac potatoes, peeled

Cover potatoes with cold water and salt generously. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 30 minutes until potatoes are evenly cooked i.e. tender but not falling apart. Drain them well. They need to be pureed immediately and once the lumps are gone, the boiling milk can be added. (Optional - you can infuse the milk with the garlic puree) Cut butter into small dice and add a few at a time, pureeing continuously, until potato feels smooth and has a light sheen. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

½ cup of full cream milk, heated

1 qty roasted garlic puree (optional)

1 tbsp cold butter
