- Preparation: 285 min

- Makes: 1 serving (275 g)
- Difficulty: Medium

- Contains: dairy, gluten
Ingredients
- 210 g Potatoes, floury, raw
- 3 g Flour, all-purpose
- 55 g Milk, whole
- 6 g Butter, unsalted
- 0.5 g Salt
Method
- Peel the potatoes and boil them in unsalted water for 20-25 minutes, until very soft. Drain them, keeping a little of the cooking water, and mash them while hot until completely smooth.
- Let the mash cool to hand-hot, about 60°C. Stir in most of the flour and sprinkle the rest over the top.
- Cover the pot and keep it warm, at about 55-60°C, for 4-5 hours, in an oven set very low or wrapped in towels, stirring now and then. The flour slowly sweetens the potato: the mash turns slightly sweet and softer.
- Heat the oven to 150°C. Stir the milk and salt into the sweetened mash; it should be soft, like thick porridge, so add a little of the potato water if needed.
- Spread it in a buttered ovenproof dish, no more than two-thirds full as it rises, smooth the top and dot it with the butter.
- Bake for 2-3 hours, until the top is deep golden brown and the casserole has darkened a little and tastes sweet. Serve hot with the Christmas ham and the other Christmas casseroles.
