Preparation

Step 1

Cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces; cook in boiling, salted water until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well; remove to a bowl. Mash with remaining ingredients (except marshmallows) while the potatoes are hot. Spoon into an oven-to-table dish. Dot with marshmallows, if desired.
