Method

step 1

Put the potatoes in a pan of cold, salted water. Bring to a simmer then cook for 8-10 minutes until completely tender (but not falling apart). Drain, then tip back in the pan, Cover the pan with a tea towel and a lid and let them steam dry.
step 2

Meanwhile, put the garlic and butter in a small pan and heat gently for 5 minutes to cook out the raw garlic. You don’t want to get any colour, just infuse the butter. Add the cream and warm through.
step 3

Use a potato ricer to pass the potatoes back into the pan and put over a low heat. Beat in the cream/ butter mix and let everything reheat then gradually stir in the cheese until it has melted into the mash. Serve straight away.
