Ingredients
- 5 pounds potatoes (baking potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, recommend Yukon Gold potatoes)
- 1 1/2 cups butter (softened, salted butter)
- 1/2 cup 2% milk (2% milk or better)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
How to Make
-
Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the potato chunks. Keeping the water at or just under a boil, cook potatoes until they are soft enough that a fork moves easily through them (30-40 minutes).
-
Step 2: Carefully drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
-
Step 3: Add the butter and milk to the potatoes. Using an electric mixer, blend the potatoes into a whipped mixture that is not too lumpy. Some lumps are ok and necessary.
-
Step 4: Add salt and pepper, to taste, and give the potatoes a last stir. Serve immediately.
