Notes
To take this to another level. Grate some fresh nutmeg into the potatoes when seasoning and a little bit on top.
Can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days
This recipe is not freezer friendly
If you want to freeze mash do so without adding any butter or milk
If your mash is not smooth enough pass it through the sieve one more time. Not all sieves have small enough holes.
