Classic Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes (5 to 6 medium, peeled and chopped)
- 1 stick (8 Tbsp. butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup milk (warmed)
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley (for topping)
Instructions
- Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with 1 inch of cold water. Season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return to the saucepan over low heat; cook until any remaining water evaporates, about 2 minutes. Add all but 1 tablespoon butter; mash with a potato masher until smooth. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, then gradually mash in the milk until creamy. Transfer to a serving dish; top with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and chopped parsley.
