Homemade Mashed Potatoes

1. Wash the potatoes well and peel them.

2. Cut the potatoes into uniform size pieces.

3. Put the potatoes in a large pot and fill the pot with enough water to cover them. Add the salt.

Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat. Cook the potatoes until they are tender.

5. When the potatoes are cooked, drain the water and put the potatoes back in the pot.

6. Add the butter and milk to the potatoes. With a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy.

7. If the mashed potatoes are too thick, you can add a little more milk until you achieve the desired consistency.

8. Taste the mash and add more salt if necessary. Serve the mashed potatoes hot.
