Mashed Potato

I made a Jamie Oliver Fish Pie when my brother and his wife came over for dinner at the weekend.

My rude little brother commented that the mashed potato topping was 'hard'. I have to admit it wasn't all that good. I probably had not mashed the spuds for long enough due to an aching wrist. Not only that but I did not add the ' few sploshes' of olive oil that Jamie Oliver recommended, for health reasons.

I would like advice on how to make delicious fluffy mashed potato without adding lots of butter or oil. I am thinking of buying a hand-held food mixer and trying that.

I always use my garlic press unless putting the garlic in whole, but forgot about the ricer until I saw this thread.

Still think naughty little brother should do the mashing himself next time he is invited round grin.

My MIL used to say 'get your strong wrist around that'
