Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°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 15–18 minutes. Drain well.

Return the drained potatoes to the pot over low heat for 1 minute to evaporate any remaining moisture. Remove from heat, add the butter, milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and mash until smooth and creamy with no lumps. Set aside.
