- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ cup whole milk, warmed
- 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste

Instructions
- 1
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold salted water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 18–22 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
- 2
Return the drained potatoes to the pot over low heat for 1 minute, shaking the pot gently, until any surface moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat. Add the 4 tbsp butter and warmed milk, then mash until smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining. Season with 1 tsp salt and adjust to taste. Cover and keep warm.
