How to make mashed potatoes THREE ways | Lump free mashed potatoes

To make mashed potatoes is actually very simple, providing you follow a few basic steps. I recommend you invest in a potato ricer as this ensure super smooth, lump free mash every time (Here's a good one https://goo.gl/iOYOlM). I use plenty of butter (no olive oil or other nonsense, it has to be butter) and a couple of egg yolks, to make this mashed potato recipe, super rich and unctuous. 
In addition, I show you 2 other ways that you can inject some new flavours into your standard mash. I make lemon, parsley and parmesan version, which is great with fish. And a smoked bacon with spring onion version, great with a fat grilled steak. 

To make perfect, smooth mashed potatoes you will need:
1.5kg of peeled maris piper potatoes
150g of good quality salted butter
2 egg yolks
1/2 tsp white pepper
Extra salt if needed

For the other versions, just add as much as you like depending on how much you are making. use your eye and taste as you go to adjust the quantities.

lemon mash:
Lemon zest
Lemon juice
Fresh parsley
Grated parmesan cheese

Bacon mash:
Diced and fried smoked bacon rashers
Finely sliced spring onions
