Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the potato chunks in a medium saucepan, cover with cold salted water, 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 saucepan over low heat for 1 minute to evaporate any remaining moisture. Remove from heat, add the butter and milk, and mash until smooth and creamy. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Set aside.
