Boiling potatoes

Begin by peeling and cutting the potatoes into even-sized pieces. Then, place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Mashing and seasoning

Drain the cooked potatoes well and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher, electric mixer, or ricer to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. Warm the milk and melt the butter in a separate saucepan or in the microwave, then gradually mix them into the mashed potatoes. Season with salt to taste.

Adding extras

For a richer or more complex flavor, consider incorporating additional ingredients such as roasted garlic, shredded cheese, chopped fresh herbs, or sour cream into the mashed potatoes before serving.
