Don't hold back on the butter when making mashed potatoes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into pieces
1 cup milk, warmed

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, add enough cold water to just cover and salt generously. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender and a thin knife easily passes through the center, 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes, cool slightly and then peel. Add back to the pot with the butter, warm milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Turn the heat to low and mash with a potato masher until the milk and butter are blended in.
