Notes
- With truffle oil, a little goes a long way. It might be expensive, but you don't need to use much, and different brands will vary in flavour and strength. My suggestion is to start with 1 teaspoon of truffle oil to begin with, then gradually build up from there. Think of it like seasoning.
- The potatoes I have used are sebago. They are an all-rounder type of potato commonly sold in Australian supermarkets. Any kind of potato suitable for mashing will be fine.
- A great way to get a super smooth mash is to use a potato ricer (sort of looks like a big garlic press). If you don't have one you could press the cooked potato through a fine sieve to get the same result, or just use a potato masher.
