  • 10 yellow potatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 tsp sea salt Or pink Himalayan salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel the potatoes to remove all skin.
  2. Heat a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt.
Cook the potatoes
  1. Add peeled potatoes to the pot and bring to a boil. Cook on medium for about 20 minutes. You'll know when your potatoes are ready when you can easily insert & remove a fork.
Mash the potatoes
  1. When your potatoes are ready, remove from heat and drain water.
  2. Add milk, butter and salt into the pot. With a potato masher, start mashing the potatoes until pureed and there are no more lumps left.
  3. Taste your potatoes. Adjust by adding more milk for creaminess, more butter for flavour & more salt for enhanced taste.
  4. That's it! Ready to serve.
