Yum. My favorite way to make mashed potatoes. Have made these more than once but keep forgetting to review the recipe. (1 kg is about 6 medium potatoes or 12 small new potatoes) I use half and half cream, kosher salt, and black pepper. Have also made them with one or more of these additions: grated cheese, fried onions, minced garlic, green onions chopped, and cream cheese. Sometimes I serve them in a bowl with melted butter on top with chopped green onion for garnish. Thanks for posting.

I've been making mashed potatoes this way foever and it's wonderful. The only things I do differently is to use margarine instead of butter and I use evaporated milk diluted with water. I also use black pepper as I don't generally keep white pepper. This is such a standard recipe in many homes and an important addition to the Zaar collection. Thanks Jubes!

I've been making mashed potatoes like this for years! I like to use maldon sea salt instead of regular table salt. Good plain Aussie mashed spuds...Mmmm Tonight I served mine along side Aussie meat pie, steamed carrots & peas. Reviewed for ZWT3

This is a great recipe for a classic dish. There's something so addictive about mashed potatoes - we love them! Thanks for posting Jubes.

I made this for Zaar World Tour III this is the same way we make mash potatoes except we use black pepper instead of white. However I must admit I really did like the white pepper flavours. Substitutes I made were I used margarine and lactose free milk. Thanks **Jubes** very yummy

Thanks for posting the recipe. This was the first time I'd ever made homemade mashed potatoes so I appreciated a simple recipe online. I even made a vegan version for family with soy milk and it was delicious!

Mmmmm, proof the simple things in life can be the best! I used a fraction extra butter with just milk and it gave a great smooth but substantial texture.
