📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a Dutch oven or large stockpot, add potatoes and 2 tablespoons salt. Add cold water to cover potatoes by 1 inch.
2
Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil and partially cover the pot. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, stirring once or twice, about 10 to ⏱️ 15 minutes. Drain well, tossing in a colander to remove excess water.
3
Wipe pot dry. Return potatoes to pot and mash to a uniform consistency. Using a rubber spatula, fold in melted butter until just incorporated.
4
Slowly stir in 1 1/2 cups hot milk. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, to adjust the consistency as desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper).
