- Drain them, leave them to steam dry, then mash with the butter and milk. Taste for seasoning.
- Spoon the mash over the top of the beef, then rough it up with a fork.
- Bake it for 20 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Then dish it up and enjoy.

Absolutely amazing. Everyone loved this and there was nothing left in the pan at all
