Preparation

Step 1

Place potatoes in a large pot and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and add 2 teaspoons salt. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 16-18 minutes. Drain potatoes and return to pot.

Meanwhile, place the rest of the ingredients (except nutmeg) into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Set aside until potatoes are cooked.

Strain the milk mixture into the pot with the potatoes. Add 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and mash. Sprinkle with nutmeg before serving.
