Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

1. Peel the potatoes¹, cut into even chunks, cover with cold salted water, and boil for 20–25 minutes until tender.

2. Heat the milk² with the butter³ in a saucepan—cold milk makes the mash gray and gluey.

3. Drain all the water, let the potatoes¹ dry on the stove for 1 minute off heat.

4. Mash with a potato¹ masher (not a blender—it’ll turn gluey), stir in the hot milk² and butter³, add nutmeg, and whip with a spoon until fluffy; season with salt to taste.
