4 servings
- 2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 ½-inch chunks
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more for the cooking water
- ¾ cup milk, warmed
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- ¼ tsp white pepper
- 2 tbsp chives, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt. 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, 18–22 minutes.

While the potatoes cook, warm the milk and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and keep warm.
