Mashed potatoes with tomatoes

Cut the potatoes into pieces. Boil them in plenty of water with a spoonful of salt in about 20 minutes until tender. Drain them in a colander and put them back in the pan.

Heat the milk and the butter in the microwave (2 minutes at 400 Watt). Mash the potatoes well or use a puree cutter. Pour the warm milk and butter gradually and add a firm spoon with a wooden spoon. The puree then becomes light and creamy. Add pepper and nutmeg to your own taste.

Fry the tomato cubes in a few tablespoons of olive oil with some salt and oregano or Italian herbs.

Add a small tin of tomato paste and heat it for a few minutes. Stir this sauce through the hot puree.
