Recipe tips

For a faster and easier option use instant potato flakes (Health Star Rating 3.5 or above) instead of cooking and mashing fresh potatoes. Prepare with milk, rather than cream or butter.
Swap the peas for any other cooked non-starchy vegetables, such as carrots, broccoli or green beans.
