Again, for me, another excellent recipe from this cookbook.
I do vary the recipe according to my guests - some prefer a more liquid mash (what I would call 'Kartoffelbrei') and then I follow the liquid components; my husband however prefers firmer mash, and so I tend to leave out the stock liquid... and just use the quantity of milk given.
I have done the recipe without using the butterfly - it's a rather lumpy delight - but it's still lovely.
So - for a simple mash - there are various options!!
