Method

  1. Put the potatoes and milk into a medium pan, add water to just cover, season, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 mins or until tender. Add the rosemary a few mins before the end of cooking to infuse. Drain off all but a few tbsp of the cooking liquid.
  2. Roughly crush the spuds, fold in the truffle oil and cream, then tip into a small baking dish, adding a few rosemary leaves to decorate. Flash under the grill for a few mins to colour the top. If making ahead, reheat in the oven at 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 for 15 mins until just bubbling and starting to turn golden.

    Truffle oil is a fantactic accompaniment to mashed or crushed potatoes. Finely sliced truffles would also go fantastically with this dish. If you really looking for a great source of delicious Italian truffles (all seasons and varieties), as well as truffle products (oil), then check out www.trufflehunter.co.uk; you can even order online!

    I stumbled across this one while trying to think of something a) different to do with spuds, b) a little special, and c) which would not add to the burden of getting a Christmas lunch to the table. It ticked all the boxes, being easily prepped and fridge-kept the day before. Repetition last month wasn't as successful texture-wise, as I took my eye off the potatoes and they overcooked. What ended up as truffled mash still went down well, though.
