Method
- Peel the swede and floury potatoes and chop into 3cm chunks. Put in a saucepan with a pinch of salt; cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 mins or until tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry for 5 mins.
- Meanwhile, melt the salted butter. Pick the leaves from the fresh thyme sprigs and stir into the melted butter.
- Return the swede and potato to the pan over a low heat, add the milk, then mash until smooth. Season with black pepper, stir in two-thirds of the thyme butter, then drizzle over the rest to serve.
- Tip: Pull the thyme sprigs backwards through the tines of a fork or your finger and thumb to strip the leaves more easily.
