Pro Tips:

• Steam instead of boil for an even sweeter flavour and to retain more nutrients.

• Mash while hot for the smoothest, creamiest texture.

• Season simply with salt, pepper, and a little butter – or add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cream for a warm autumn twist.

• Make extra! It freezes beautifully and is perfect to pull out for a quick side.
