Mashed potatoes with butter

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of washed potatoes
• 110 g butter at room temperature, cut into pieces
• 1 cup of milk, warmed

Preparation:

1. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, add enough cold water to just cover, and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender and a thin knife easily passes through the center, 45-55 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes, cool slightly, and then peel. Return the potatoes to the pan with the butter, warm milk, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and mash the potatoes with a potato masher until the milk and butter are completely incorporated.
