Step 1
Peel and cut potatoes into 3cm / 1.25" cubes.
Step 2
Place in a pot, add 1 tbsp salt and water so it's 5cm / 2" above potatoes.
Step 3
Bring water to a boil, then boil for 15 minutes until potatoes are very soft and starting to fall apart.
Step 4
Drain, leave in colander to steam dry for 3 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add cream and milk, heat until just before simmer - do not let it boil. Remove from stove.
Step 6
Pass potato through a potato ricer (Note 1) or use a masher with holes. Do not use beater - will make it dense.

Add hot milk mixture, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. GENTLY stir until mixed through.
Step 8
Taste for salt and pepper, add more if needed.
Step 9
Transfer into serving bowl. Pour over Gravy and serve immediately with anything and everything!
