Fool proof food
750g King Edward or other good quality boiling potatoes a good slice (about 25g) of butter 50-75ml warm milk salt and freshly ground pepper
Peel the potatoes and halve or quarter them so you have even size pieces. Put them in a saucepan of cold water and bring them to the boil (about 5 minutes). Skim off any froth, season them with salt and then cook them for about 20 minutes until you can put the tip of a knife into them without any resistance.
