Mashed Potato Cooking Tip

Here’s a cooking tip that you might find useful next time you’re mashing potatoes.

Instead of using a fork or a potato masher try using a hand mixer. Its quicker and easier and makes lovely creamy mash, especially if you add a little butter and a drop of milk.

Remember to use a large saucepan though and to start whisking on a fairly low speed otherwise the mash tends to splatter out of the pan.
Also not too over whisk, just whisk until the potatoes are soft and free from lumps.
