Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold salted water by 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 15 minutes. Drain well.

Return the drained potatoes to the pot and mash with the butter until no large lumps remain. Stir in the warmed milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
