Mashed potatoes

I hate ready-made powdered mashed potatoes mixes almost as much as I love the real thing made from fresh ingredients. It's not such a big deal to make, so don't be lazy and try it out.

Ingredients (for 5)

• 6 large potatoes (preferably the dryer quality brown-skinned ones used for frying)
• 2 glasses fresh unskimmed milk
• 3 or 4 tablespoons butter
• salt
• pepper
• nutmeg

1. Peel, slice and steam the potatoes until soft.
2. Warm up the milk with the remaining ingredients.
3. Just before the milk boils, turn off the heat and add the cooked potatoes to it.
4. Mash the potatoes in milk, adding a little extra cold milk if necessary.
