Method
- Put a large pan of salted water over a high heat and bring to the boil. Meanwhile, peel and roughly chop the potatoes and swede (ensuring each piece is of an even size) and put them in the water. Boil for 20-25 minutes until completely soft.
- Drain the veg, leave to steam dry for a few minutes, then return to the pan and mash with the butter and milk. It doesn’t need to be completely smooth, so a little texture is fine. Season heavily with salt and pepper to taste, then stir through the chopped chives.
