- 800 g Potatoes, cut them in smaller pieces of the same size (remove the skin)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (add to the water while cooking the potatoes)
- 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- ¾ cup Milk
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Add the cubed, skinless potatoes to a pot. Add enough water (cold water, not boiling) to cover all the potatoes entirely. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Set the pot on high heat until the water starts to boil and then reduce it to medium-low heat.
After the water is boiling, cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes or until they are very tender. Don't overcook it. You can test it by putting a fork inside it. Drain the potatoes well to remove all excess moisture.
Mash them either with a fork, or a mash potato tool. Do not use a blender or food processor for this, otherwise their consistency will turn into gooey.
In the same pot you used to cook the potatoes, add all the ingredients and stir it for around 2 minutes on low heat. Adjust the salt or pepper per your taste.
