- Clean the potatoes and use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. Cut the potatoes up into small cubes and place them in a saucepan. Fill with cold water and place over medium-high heat to bring to a boil.
- Boil the potatoes for 20-30 minutes or until very tender and nearly falling apart. Drain the water using a colander and return the potatoes to the saucepan.
- Keep the heat on until there are no longer large amounts of steam. Remove from the heat and mash the potatoes using a potato masher. Season with salt and pepper, and gradually add the butter in small amounts.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature so it doesn’t bring down the temperature of the potatoes.
- Once all of the butter has been incorporated, start to add the warm milk in small amounts until you are happy with the consistency; you may not need to use all of the milk. Check for seasoning and serve.
