Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Prick potatoes, then place directly on rack in center of oven.
- Place a piece of foil on rack below.
- Bake until easily pierced with a knife tip, about 50 minutes.
- Or microwave on high until easily pierced, about 25 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, peel, then pass through a food mill or ricer, or mash with a potato masher.
- (I love my ricer so I go that way) Place milk, butter, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and set on a heat-resistant surface.
- Stir in mashed potatoes and 1 tablespoon vinegar.
- Stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed and potatoes have a smooth consistency.
- Taste and add more vinegar, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed.
- The advantage of doing this in a saucepan is that if potatoes have cooled a little, you can return pan to low heat and stir often until hot.
