Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks.

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

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.

Add the butter and milk to the pot with the potatoes.

Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot and enjoy!
