Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and carrots and cut them into large chunks. Slice the onions.
  2. Put the vegetables in a large pan, cover with cold salted water and bring to the boil.
  3. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until the vegetables mash easily with a fork.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the meat or sausage in a dry pan until hot and lightly browned.
  5. Drain the vegetables, keeping a little of the cooking water, then mash them with the butter and milk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Season with pepper and nutmeg, adjust the salt, and serve hot with the meat and gherkins.

Variations and tips
