Method

Prep the potatoes

Peel the Russet Potatoes, then cut them into even 1 1/2-inch chunks so they cook at the same pace. Give the pieces a quick rinse under cool water to wash away some surface starch and help the mash stay fluffy.

Boil until tender

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Kosher Salt, bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are very tender and a fork slides in easily.

Drain well

Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander, then return them to the hot pot and let them steam off for 1 minute so extra moisture evaporates.

Mash and season

Warm the Whole Milk gently in a small saucepan or microwave until it’s just warm, then add it a little at a time with the 4 tablespoons of Unsalted Butter and mash until the butter melts through. Finish with the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and about 1/5 teaspoon of the Pepper (Black), stopping as soon as the potatoes are creamy and fluffy. Overmixing can make them gluey.

Serve warm

Spoon the mashed potatoes into a warm serving bowl, make a soft swirl on top, and serve right away while they’re steaming hot.
