Make ahead: Don’t use valuable time on the day – make your mash ahead of time! Prepare the recipe as stated, then transfer to a baking dish. Store in the fridge, removing about two hours before baking. Use a fork to make ridges in the top of the potatoes, then dot a little extra butter over the top and bake at 180˚C/160˚C fan/gas mark 4 for 25-30 minutes until golden on top.
