First attempt at a new style of mashed potatoes

Instead of steaming or boiling the potatoes separately, just try simmering them in milk+butter+cream.

The taste is excellent but the texture is poor. I'm going to retry the next time by using more milk to cover the potatoes completely and simmer longer (40 mins?). Then take out the potatoes and mash them separately with some of the milk it was simmered in.

There's butter, creme fraiche in this too, along with a dash of nutmeg and salt.
