Product Information

Sprinkle over the flour, finely grate over half the nutmeg, season well with sea salt and black pepper, then scrunch and push the mixture together with clean hands. Remove with a slotted spoon and toss with melted butter and finely grated Parmesan, my Hero tomato sauce (or leftover sauce from a stew, which you can see in the picture), then finely grate over a little Parmesan, to serve. After 40 minutes, you'll want to take the tray out of the oven and 'pop' the potatoes with a masher, as the chef does.

Squash the garlic bulbs, then lightly crush each unpeeled clove and add to the tray – this gives you sweet, caramelised garlic and adds a gentle perfume to the potatoes.

At this point also give the half-roast pots a slight squidge with a potato masher – not mashing them you understand, but squeezing them to open them up. Below we'll introduce the different mashers you can choose from and consider the pros and cons of each type. Topping our list is this electric masher to blitz potatoes, and anything else you fancy, into blissful, lighter-than-air mash.

Place into a large pan of boiling salted water and cook on a medium heat for 15 minutes, or until tender, then drain and allow to steam dry. The first thing that will happen is that the potatoes will simply sit in cold oil, hardening while the fat warms up.

Consider potato mashers that clean with a quick rinse, wash in warm soapy water, or are dishwasher safe. You need to precook the potatoes but it’s crucial not to overdo it – you want there still to be a bit of bite.

The best thing about a manual potato masher is of the fact that it's cheap, cheerful and easy to clean.When the potatoes are almost smooth, add half the butter, the milk and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Despite the 'comfort grip' the handle isn't particularly ergonomic, so it won't be the easiest masher on your palms but it works just fine!
