There has been much written on the best way to make mashed potatoes. It really depends on your personal taste preferences. I have discovered that the real trick to creamy, buttery, heavenly potatoes is to use milk and butter. We usually served mashed potato with steak.

Ingredients

• 3 potatoes
• 1/3 cup of milk
• 2 tbs butter
• a pinch of salt
• a pinch of pepper

Steps

1. Put the potatoes in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt. Add water until potatoes are covered. Bring to boil, covered, for at least 30 minutes until it’s done – a fork can easily be poked through them.
2. Drain water from the potatoes and separate the skin from the meat of the potatoes. At this point, it should be easy to do so.
3. Put the potatoes back into the pot and set the stove to low heat. Use potato masher to mash the potatoes until well mashed.
4. Add milk, butter, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve as side dish.
