Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Put potatoes in a large saucepan; add cold water to cover and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Bring to boil and continue to cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Be careful not to overcook potatoes you plan to mash, because the starch cells will break down and create a sticky mash.
  4. Cook them just until a thin-bladed knife meets a bit of resistance.
  5. It is also important to drain the potatoes well after cooking to prevent gumminess.
  6. Drain potatoes well and return pan to low heat to dry thoroughly.
  7. Using a ricer, rice potatoes into pan.
  8. With a wooden spoon blend in butter, then warm milk or half-and-half.
  9. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a big pinch of black pepper, or to taste.
  10. Serve immediately.
