3
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt.
4
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
5
Drain well and return the potatoes to the pot.

6
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until mostly smooth.
7
In a small saucepan, warm the butter and milk until butter is melted and mixture is hot but not boiling.
8
Gradually stir the warm milk-butter mixture into the potatoes, mashing to your desired texture.
9
Season with salt and pepper, and add more milk if you prefer creamier potatoes.
