Method

1. Cook the potatoes and swede in a pan of lightly salted boiling water. Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes or until tender.

2. Drain the potatoes and swede and return to the pan. In another pan bring the milk to the boil. Pour the milk over the potatoes and swede and mash until smooth. Season to taste.

3. To serve, beat in a bunch of finely chopped onions or chives; for a really substantial treat add 4 rashers of grilled British bacon, which has been roughly chopped.
