Ultimate Brie Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1 kg potatoes (Weigh peeled and raw; cut into quarters.)
• 80 g salted butter
• 160 ml double/heavy cream

Steps

1. 1

   Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters.

2. 2

   Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water, and boil for about 15–20 minutes, until a knife glides through easily and the potatoes are soft all the way through.

3. 3

   While the potatoes boil, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

4. 4

   Drain the potatoes and pass them through a potato masher into a suitable bowl or pan.

5. 5

   Add the butter, cream, garlic granules, salt, and measured black pepper. Mix until combined.

6. 6

   Transfer the mash to a baking dish and smooth the top.

7. 7

   Arrange thick slices of Brie over the mashed potatoes.

8. 8

   Bake for about 10 minutes, until the Brie has melted and is beginning to turn golden.

9. 9

   Drizzle with the optional honey and finish with a crack of black pepper. Serve.
