Ingredients

3 1/2 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 pound sweet butter, cut into small chunks
1 1/2 cups milk or cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil in a large pot. Cook until tender, about 40 minutes, and drain immediately.
Use a potato ricer or an electric mixer to begin mashing the potatoes. Add the butter and half the milk or cream and whip or rice to a nearly smooth puree. Add more milk or cream to achieve the consistency you desire. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
