Only trick to mash spuds is drain them thoroughly then back into the same hot pot and then let them alone for a bit before doing anything else. Water evaporates out while sitting there and can then lash the butter salt and milk in.

Or a lot of people would add a bit of the starchy water they were cooked in to the potatoes when mashing

This effort was prepared by the better half who is not a roaster. Nice dollops of butter evenly spread through the mash.
No milk? Cream? The spuds weren’t par boiled last night then wrapped in fennel leaves and left to infuse for 10 hours?
What kind of mad woman / man are you with?

I’m lucky to have her. She went without spuds herself so I could have a roaster portion.

She wouldn’t hurl spuds to a mucker.
Your miwadi game is solid
Another trick is after you strain them, walk outside and shake them in the fresh crisp Irish air for a minute.
It’s a game changer.

Roasters be clane mad for peas apparently. I fucking hate peas.
A big hape of peas is completely anathema to me. Likes withheld accordingly.

What did ye have for main course kid?
Home grown peas are tremendous. My favourite vegetable. Not that plentiful though unfortunately.
