Dutch mashed potatoes (Aardappelpuree)

Traditional recipe from The Netherlands

• 1kg of potatoes
• 1 1/2 cup of milk
• grated nutmeg
• 1/4 cup of butter or margarine
• salt

Boil the peeled potatoes. Mash them when still warm with a fork or put them through a mincer or a sieve.

Bring the milk, nutmeg, butter and salt to the boil. Add the mashed potatoes at once and stir well.

Whip the mixture well with a wooden spoon until it's white and creamy, and serve, or put in a casserole, dot with some butter and brown under the grill or in the oven.
