Ingredients

1 kg	potatoes
100 g	butter
	salt

Instructions

Thinly peel the potatoes, cut into even-sized pieces and soak in very salty cold water for a couple of hours. Drain and put the potatoes into a saucepan with fresh, well-salted water. Boil and when nearly done, add a little cold water to lower the temperature and make the potatoes floury.

Drain and return to the pan, cover with a folded tea towel and complete the cooking over a low heat. Lumps of potato will stick to the pan: scrape these off and mix in with the rest of the potatoes. The half-scorched flavour is essential. Mix carefully with butter and serve.
