Ingredients:
2 pounds russet (baking) or red potatoes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 to 1 cup milk
Directions:
1. Peel potatoes and cut into 2-inch pieces. (If using red potatoes, it is not necessary to peel them). In a large heavy saucepan simmer potatoes in salted water to cover by 1 inch 10 minutes, or until tender, and drain in a colander. In pan or bowl combine potatoes, butter, and 3/4 cup milk.
