Preparation

Step 1
Place the potatoes and milk, salted to taste, in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook 25 minutes.
Step 2
Strain the potatoes and reserve the milk. Put the potatoes through a food mill or ricer, and transfer to a large saucepan.
Step 3
Heat the cream and olive oil in a small saucepan, and add them to the potatoes, stirring well with a wooden spatula. To obtain a looser consistency, stir in some of the reserved hot milk. Season with grated nutmeg, salt and freshly ground pepper. Serve hot.
