Directions
1
Peel about 2 pounds of russet potatoes.
2
Cut the peeled potatoes into smaller pieces of roughly the same size for even cooking.
3
Place the cut potatoes in a pot of boiling salted water and cook for about 15 minutes until they are fork tender.
4
While the potatoes are cooking, heat up about 1 cup of milk and 4 tablespoons of butter in a separate pot until the butter melts.
5
After 15 minutes, drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the hot pot.
6
Add a little bit of salt and black pepper to the potatoes.
7
Pour in the warm milk and butter mixture.
8
Using a hand mixer on a low speed, mix the potatoes until they come together and are fluffy. Be careful not to overmix.
