Purea di Patate ( Mashed Potatoes)

Last New Year, my husband prepared Purea di Patate together with lenticchie and cotechino. Lentichhie is one of the family of legumes. While Cotechino is like a sausage. It is a gut of pig whose interior consists of a mixture of lean pork, bacon, rind, spices and herbs.
