This recipe for perfect mashed potatoes creates a side dish that is incredibly smooth, buttery, and full of flavour.

Using a potato ricer is the secret to reaching that coveted light and airy texture, ensuring there isn't a single lump in sight.
Ideal for a traditional Sunday roast or as a comforting base for sausages and gravy, these potatoes are versatile and simple to prepare.
