  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter Ā· melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup Whole milk Ā· warmed
  • 1.5 tsp Kosher salt Ā· plus more for boiling water
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper Ā· freshly ground

Directions

  1. 1

    Boil the potatoes

    Place potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain and dry

    Drain the potatoes well in a colander. Return them to the hot, empty pot for 1 minute over low heat to evaporate excess moisture.

  3. 3

    Mash and mix

    Remove from heat. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until mostly smooth. Stir in the melted butter, warm milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and creamy.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer to a serving bowl, fluff with a fork, and top with an extra pat of butter if desired.
