1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1-2 inches. This will ensure they cook evenly.
2
Boil Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the salt.

3
Cook Until Tender
Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
4
Drain Potatoes
Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess moisture to escape.
5
Mash the Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the butter and begin mashing with a potato masher until smooth.
6
Add Milk and Season
Gradually add the milk while continuing to mash until the desired consistency is reached. Season with black pepper to taste.
