All of the above! Make sure they are cooked just right - it's when they are slightly undercooked that you get the lumps, drain well. Bit of butter and cream (preferable) or milk and give them a good bash I agree that a whisk is better but spud basher is fine. I like mine with a bit of freshly chopped chives - mmmm or tarragon. Oooooh I want some now :) Enjoy yours when you have them. Lyn x

It all depends also on the type of potato you use, I always plum for maris piper, desiree or king edwards if others not available, once cooked leave them to steam on a low heat to dry them until the steam stops, then with an elctric mixer beat them with a good dollop of butter and same of extra thick double cream, plus salt and a lot of white pepper, don't beat them for too long with electric as they turn gluey and aren't as nice.

Thanks all, all sound great

mmm nutmeg and mash

Try mashing a sweet potato into it...

Snap Catherine..

I melt the butter in a little milk then add it to the mashed potato hot. That seems to make it even tastier and fluffier. Sometimes a little grated nutmeg as well as usual seasonings is very good....especially if I am doing a mixture of mashed swede and potato or mashed celeriac and potato. Sue

Yuk yuk..yuk...best butter and full cream milk

Funny I'm doing mash tonight too.lol If you want it really creamy add butter and cream-or whole milk if you not got any cream, salt, pepper-Now here's the secret. Use a whisk rather than a masher-so much better no lumps at all. catherine xx

Mash pots with cheese triangles and grilled diced bacon. Jackie:o)

add onion salt and butter

Cook potatoes with a pinch of salt, put into bowl with a little milk, a shake of pepper & a knob of butter, use a mixer to mash them. This makes lovely smooth & creamy mash. You can add a little grated cheese, a little chopped parsley, cooked carrot or swede, before mashing for variety.

sounds nice that does x

I put either Dijon mustard or horse radish, its yummy or chop some onions into it, again, yummy.

Mash with Butter and fresh cream. If you like garlic add some to mashed potato or some grated cheese. Freshly ground pepper also is nice in them Regards Jackie

Try adding single cream instead of milk,or grated cheese. Annie
