Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes in salted water (it is best to use enough salt so that they no longer need to be seasoned) until cooked for 20 minutes, drain, evaporate and place in a bowl.
  2. Put 50 g butter in the hot saucepan to melt. Put the potatoes through a press and stir in enough milk with a whisk until you get a nice puree. Season to taste with nutmeg and possibly also salt.
  3. Heat the remaining 20 g butter in a pan. Brown the onion rings or breadcrumbs in them and serve the mashed potatoes sprinkled with them.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
