Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds medium russet potatoes
Kosher salt
1/2 to 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup whole milk, warmed
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Season with salt and bring to a simmer; cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes. Hold with an oven mitt or kitchen towel and peel off the skins, then transfer the potatoes to a bowl.
  • Add the butter and warm milk to the bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork (or pass the potatoes through a ricer or food mill for a smoother mash). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Plan on 1/3 to 1/2 pound potatoes per person for your feast.
