Ingredients

• 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup milk

Preparation

Step 1

Place potatoes in medium saucepan; add water to just cover and 1 tablespoon salt.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are soft and tip of paring knife inserted into potato meets no resistance, 8 to 10 minutes.
Drain potatoes and return to saucepan.
Return saucepan to low heat and cook, shaking pot occasionally, until any surface moisture on potatoes has evaporated, about 1 minute.
Remove pan from heat and mash potatoes well.
