Heston from Waitrose mashed potato.

Having been prevented from enjoying the New Year celebrations due to a rather unpleasant cold virus, I thought I would share my thoughts about Heston's mashed potato.

It seems he has now branched out further than just the Hidden Orange Christmas pud, and together with Waitrose has launched a line of ready meals.

In need of a quick side dish, I decided to buy the mashed potato.  Now, you wonder exactly what can be said about the humble mashed spud? Well, not too much really, but it certainly is jolly nice!

The spud has been mashed to perfection,  and mixed with full cream milk, double cream and jersey butter.  It is absolutely sublime, with a smooth, melt in the mouth taste.

To cook it, simply pierce the film lid, and put into the microwave for up to 4 minutes. Of course, it is aimed purely at microwave cooking and shouldn't be put into the coventional oven.

It is the perfect side dish to pretty much everything.

My score out of 5

Would be 5, buy it, cook it and enjoy!
