Ingredients

Preparation

Cooking
- Heat the haggis following pack instructions.
- When the haggis has 30 mins cooking time remaining, tip the potatoes into a large pan of generously salted cold water, then bring to the boil over a medium heat and cook for 10-12 mins until very tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain well and leave to steam-dry in the colander for 10 mins.
- Add half the milk and two-thirds of the butter to the pan used to cook the potatoes, and warm over a low heat until the butter is melted and the milk is just steaming.
- Remove from the heat and return the potatoes to a pan, then use a potato masher to mash everything together.
- Or, pass the potatoes through a medium sieve into the pan in batches using the back of a spoon or ladle.
- (Using a sieve will give you a very fine, no-lump texture.) Season well with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, cook the swede and carrots in a pan of boiling water for 18-20 mins until very tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain well and leave to steam-dry in the colander for 10 mins.
- Return the vegetables to the pan along with the remaining milk and butter, then coarsely mash using a potato masher – you don’t want a smooth texture here.
- Season well.
- Serve the haggis with the neeps and tatties alongside.
