  This is so easy! If you add a bit of chopped parsley and ground black pepper it's good too!

  great recipe - once mashed, I sprinkled some grated cheese on top, popped it into the oven at 180/gas mark 4 for twenty minutes so it had a crispy topping, went down a treat with everyone

  We substitute Soy Cream instead of milk or cream. And instead of Nutmeg we use White Pepper. Butter, and full salted butter, is something that can't be substituted in your mash. And as one of my friends used to put in her mash, 'Cream Cheese' has NO place in mashed potatoes.

  The kind of potatoes used is important. Waxy potatoes give a horrible gluey result. Floury potatoes like King Edwards, Maris Piper and Kerr's Pink are what's needed. Usually any potato recommended for roasting will make good mash. For extra comfort add a good amount of grated cheese. This is good served in a bowl just with vegetables or browned in the oven or under the grill.

  Glenwood - in answer to your question about a substitute for milk, I often use a blob of either yoghurt or sour cream which makes the mash very silky. If you're allergic to milk products, you could also try soy milk with a touch of sugar.

  I find that adding loads of freshly ground pepper and a couple of tablespoons of "Helmans" mayo, makes potatoes irresistable.

  lovely mash, but do make sure you use a floury poatato, otherwise it turns out thick and sticky, arghhhhhhhh, not nice at all :(((((( and yes grated cheese is very nice either on top or mixed in with the mash,mmmmmmmmm :)))

  Try adding about a tsp of some freshly chopped rosemary to enhance it, if its to be served with a pork or lamb dish

  Highly recommend a potato ricer for incredibly smooth and lump-free mash and it must be Maris Ps every time!!

  my job is a chef, this is a nice recipe but to make it even better. when you have boiled the potatoes, drain return to pan then back on the hob using a low flame mix the potatoes with a spoon so they dont stick for about 3 mins. then pass the potatoes through a potatoe ricer into a bowl, then add butter a little hot milk and a dash of cream mix with a spoon and add salt and white pepper, forget the nutmeg, you will have the best mash ever. enjoy
