1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
2
Cook the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let them simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
3
Drain the Potatoes
Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add butter and begin mashing with a potato masher until smooth.
5
Add Milk and Seasoning
Gradually stir in the milk until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Serve
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and enjoy!
