Ingredients
3 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or less (to taste)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Directions
- In a large pot over medium to high heat, place 3/4 full of water, add a tablespoon of salt, and then the potatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, 25 minutes.
- Drain potatoes, and return to the pot.
- Turn heat to high to allow potatoes to dry for about 25 seconds. This is just a quick drying, don’t overdry. Turn off heat.
- Next, mash the potatoes with a masher or with a fork twice around the pot. Do not use an electric mixer or your potatoes will be too whipped. Add the milk and butter. Whisk in salt and pepper. Serve.
