Instructions
- 1
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 thoroughly.

Return the drained potatoes to the pot and mash with the butter until no lumps remain. Stir in the warmed milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until the mash is smooth and holds its shape when spooned. Set aside.
