Homely Swedish Recipe - Potatismos or Creamed Potato

One of the classic Swedish dishes that is simple to cook, but utterly Swedish is Potatismos. The subtle but distinctive difference from the usual mashed potato is noticeable and delectable.

It is the classic accompaniment to “korv” or sausage and mustard. I first tasted it served to me whilst in Sweden, where it is widely available, much as fish and chips is in England. You can easily create this dish at home even without the traditional korv. Simply take some bratwurst or hot dog sausages, slit them halfway and fill with a layer of Swedish mustard (sweet and not too hot).

12 medium-sized potatoes
1 decilitre of milk
2 tablespoons of margarine or butter
Pinch of salt
Pinch of white pepper

Peel and cut the potatoes into small pieces.
Boil the potato in salted water for 18-20 minutes.
Drain & stand for a couple of minutes.
Mash
