Classic mashed potato with butter and hot milk will bring a touch of nostalgia to tonight's dinner.

800g Spunta, Sebago or Coliban potatoes 40g butter, chopped 1/3 cup hot milk (see note) NOTE: To heat milk, pour into a microwave-safe jug or cup. Heat, uncovered, for 1 to 2 minutes on HIGH (100%) power or until hot.

1. Peel potatoes and cut into large chunks. Cook in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 20 minutes or until very tender but not falling apart. 2. Drain potatoes well. Return to saucepan over low heat. Shake pan gently until any remaining water evaporates. Using a potato masher, roughly mash potatoes. 3. Add butter and hot milk to potatoes. Beat with a wooden spoon until fluffy. Season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with extra butter and salt and pepper.
