Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

1kg potatoes, maincrop or waxy, peeled and cut up if large
25g unsalted butter
1 tbsp crÿme fraiche
6 tbsp milk
300g Cantal entre deux, finely sliced
sea salt, black pepper
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the potatoes and cook until tender, then drain into a colander and leave for a moment for the surface water to evaporate. Pass the potatoes through a mouli-legumes back into the pan, then stir in the butter, crème fraiche and milk. Return the pan to a gentle heat, add the Cantal and stir until it is melted, without overworking the purée. Season with black pepper and salt if it needs it.
