Steps

  1. 1

    Peel the potatoes and carrots and cut them into chunks. Peel and slice the onions.

  2. 2

    Put the carrots in a large pot, then the onions, then the potatoes on top. Add water to just below the potatoes and a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook until everything is soft.

  4. 4

    Drain, keeping a little of the liquid. Mash roughly with the butter and warm milk; it should stay a little chunky.

  5. 5

    Season with nutmeg, salt and plenty of pepper and serve with a fried egg on top.

Tips and questions
Why boil everything together?
The carrots and onions sweeten the potatoes, and it’s the traditional one-pot Dutch method.
Does it freeze?
Yes, for up to 3 months. Reheat in a pan with a knob of butter.
