—————————————————-
1 ½ pounds russet potatoes — peeled and cubed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter — softened
½ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon coarse salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
parsley — garnish
In a large heavy saucepan, add cubed potatoes and cover with cold water by at least 1-inch. Bring to a boil. Cover partway, reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Mash potatoes until smooth with a hand masher. Add the butter and mix thoroughly. Add the milk in small amounts, ¼ cup at a time, mixing until milk is absorbed. Continue adding milk until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
