Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes
• 3 1/2 tbsp butter
• Salt, to taste

Instructions

Rinse the potatoes well and cut them into evenly sized cubes. You can peel them first or leave the skin on for a more rustic texture.

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous amount of salt.

Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender and easy to mash.

Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot.

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork while adding the butter little by little until smooth and creamy.

Taste and adjust the salt as needed.

• roasted garlic
• chives or parsley
