Main

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

    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.
