Ingredients
  • 4-6 regular sized russet potatoes
  • butter (3rd of a stick, chopped into pieces)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions

  1. Take 4-6 regular size potatoes. Scrub and peel them into thirds going the long way. Turn them onto the sides and slice in half. Then slice the potatoes into chunks so they look uniform in size.

  2. Put the potatos into cold water and bring to boil. Add salt.

  3. Cook for about 15 minutes on low boil with no lid. You don't need to stir.

  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Return potatoes to pot.

  5. Add salt, butter, pepper, and milk (start with 1/2 cup and keep adding if dry). Mash potatoes and serve.
