1

Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Add the salt, cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Simmer for approx. 20-25 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and allow to steam dry for 2-3 minutes.

2

Transfer to a large mixing bowl and gently crush with a fork, just enough to break the skin and expose the fluffy centre.

3

Dot with butter while still warm, allowing the residual heat to melt it through. Season generously with sea salt flakes, tossing gently to coat.

4

Spoon onto a serving platter and serve immediately.
