Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold salted water by at least 1 inch, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 18–20 minutes.

Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Add the butter and warmed milk, then mash until smooth and no lumps remain. Season with 1 tsp salt, taste, and adjust. Set aside.
