Equipment

4-6 Quart Sauce Pan
Hand Mixer

Ingredients

8 Russett Potatoes, medium
2 Tbsp Butter
1 Cup Milk
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Peel potatoes and cut into chunks.
Place cut potatoes in 4 quart pot with 2-4 quarts of water. (Water should cover the potatoes)
Boil 15-20 minutes with the lid on, or until you stick a fork in a potato and it slides through, or slightly breaks the potato. Drain potatoes in colander.
In the same pot, while hot, add the milk and butter. Stir until the butter has melted. May need to turn burner on low until the butter has melted.
Place potatoes back in the pot with the milk and butter. Using a hand mixter, blend until creamy. If you like your potatoes thinner, add a tbsp of milk until you get your desired creaminess. If you like your potatoes chunky, use less milk.
Spoon into a serving bowl, add a pat of butter on top (if desired). Serve.
