How To Make Our Easy Mashed Potato Recipe:

Quick Tip

The Easy Way to Boil Potatoes:
Cut down on the fuss of boiling potatoes and other vegetables by using a steamer instead. You don't have to drain them and you preserve more of the food's natural nutrients because they aren't lost in the cooking water!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C.
Peel potatoes. Cut in quarters.
Place potatoes in saucepan with a teaspoon of salt and enough water to cover the potatoes. (You can speed up the cooking time by using boiling water from the kettle.)
Boil over medium-high heat until tender - about 15 minutes.
Remove potatoes from heat and drain.
Add butter, cream and mustard to the potatoes and mash together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer mash to an ovenproof casserole dish and heat through at 350 degrees F for around 15 minutes.
