Perfect Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Peel and rinse the potatoes, then cut them into cubes.

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add salt to the water.

Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until the butter is melted.

Pour the milk and butter mixture over the potatoes.

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth and creamy.

Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

Serve the mashed potatoes hot.
