2.Meanwhile, place milk and cream in a saucepan and bring almost to the boil, then remove from heat.

3.Stir potato over low heat, for 1 minute, add cream mixture and butter, in batches, beating with a wooden spoon until mash is smooth and fluffy, then season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground white pepper.

4.Serve Paris mash immediately or cover closely with a round of baking paper to prevent a skin from forming and keep warm. To re-heat mash, add a little hot milk while beating constantly with a wooden spoon until heated through.
