- Peel potatoes and cut into small cubes. Place in a medium-sized pot and cover with milk. Heat until boiling then bring to a simmer.

Something else. Instead of boiling the poatoes in butter, I boil them in water with 1-2 oxo cubes, I also add the cornbeef to the onions once they are cooked, and heat through. It makes it easier to mix in with the potatoes. - 16 Feb 2010

I used some left over potatos, cubed and instead of milk about 1/4 cup red wine, 1/4 C of broth and 1 T. dijon mustard. Kicked it up a bit for the adult crowd. - 13 Apr 2012
