Method

Boil the potatoes and thyme stems for 15-20 mins until the potatoes feel tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Strain, discard the thyme stems, then return the potatoes to the pan to steam-dry for a few mins.
Add the milk and butter and mash well until fairly smooth. Season well, stir in the thyme leaves and top with the basil to serve.
