Ingredients

• 1kg/2¼lb charlotte potatoes
• 1 tbsp salt
• 300g/10½oz cold butter & then cut into cubes
• warm milk for taste

Method

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2.5cm (1in) slices. Run the slices under chilly water to wash off surface starch. Heat a large pan of water awaiting it reaches a temperature of 80C/175F (you'll need to use a good-quality heat thermometer, with the probe placed in the water. Add the potatoes and boil for half an hour being careful to sustain the temperature at 70C/160F. Drain the potato slices and run them under chilly water until completely cool.
2. Rinse the pan and refill with chilly water. Salt the water and bring it to the boil, then lower to a simmer. Add the cooked, cooled potatoes and cook until soft. Drain the potatoes and then place them back in the pan. Shake the pan over a gentle heat to get rid of any remaining water.
3. Tip the potatoes into a ricer and rice the potatoes over a bowl containing the cold butter. Push the buttery riced potatoes through a fine-meshed drum sieve for a silky, light texture. You can prepare the purée in advance up to this stage and store it in the fridge. To serve, reheat it gently in a pan, while gradually whisking in a little warm milk.
