- 680-700 g organic potato such as Meris Piper, King Edwards, Yukon Gold or Russet. Peeled and cut into cubes
- 2 tbsp organic butter or vegan alternative butter
- 1/3 cup organic cream cheese or vegan cream cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream,organic full-fat milk, almond or soy milk
- a handful of finely chopped chives and freshly ground black pepper for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan place the potatoes in cold, salted water, just enough to cover them. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a fast simmer until they are tender. This should take roughly 10-15 minutes.
- Once cooked drain the potatoes in a colander and return to the saucepan. Add the heavy cream, cream cheese and butter. Then gently mash the potatoes until they are velvety and smooth. Season and serve with a sprinkling of chives.
