3-Ingredient Mashed Potatoes

Peel potatoes (optional if you like skins)

Cut into even chunks, so they cook evenly

 Place in a pot, cover with cold water

Add a generous pinch of salt 

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer

Cook 15–20 minutes (until fork-tender)

 Drain completely (this prevents watery potatoes)

Let them sit for a minute so the steam dries them out

Add butter first and mash while hot 

Slowly add warm milk until smooth 

Season with salt + extras

Need creamier? Add more milk

Need flavor? Add butter, salt, or garlic powder
