Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes (Russet or Idaho) peeled and chopped into 1-2 inch even size pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add potatoes to a large pot of water. Add salt and stir. Bring water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and cook on a low boil for 15-20 minutes or until a fork easily slides into the potatoes. Drain potatoes and place back into the pot.
- Add milk and butter and mix with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stir again. Do they need to be more creamy? Then add a little bit of extra milk or butter (try adding 2 more tablespoons) and stir again until you have the perfect creamy consistency.
- Serve and enjoy!
