Instructions

  1. Put potatoes into a large pot and add enough water to cover them. (If the potatoes are especially large, you can cut them in half.)
  2. Bring the water to a boil.
  3. Simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are easy to pierce with a knife, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  4. Drain potatoes and put into the large bowl of a stand mixer if you have one; otherwise, put them into a large, deep bowl.
  5. Use a fork (or a potato masher) to break the potatoes into large chunks.
  6. If you’re using a mixer (stand or hand mixer), use the whisk attachment.
  7. Mix (or mash) until the potatoes are starting to look smooth.
  8. Slowly add in most of the hot milk. If you’re doing this by hand, you should switch to a whisk at this point.
  9. Add the softened butter, a tablespoon at a time.
  10. Potatoes should be light and fluffy.
  11. Add salt to taste.
  12. To keep the potatoes warm until you’re ready to serve them, cover them and put them in a warm oven, or put them in a slow cooker set to low.
