Ingredients

6 large potatoes - washed, peeled and diced

4 tbsp milk

2 tbsp butter

6 cups water

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1

Boil the potatoes in salt water until they are fully cooked and soft.
2

Drain them thoroughly in a colander, the last thing that you want is watery potatoes.
3

While the potatoes are still hot mash them with a potato masher - until they are broken down to the consisteny of cooked oats.
4

Add the milk, butter and salt and pepper and continue mashing.
5

Do not use a blender to do this as the potato’s consistency will become gooey and sticky.
6

Serve garnished with a few sprigs of parsley.

Cooks Note

A great guideline to determine how many potatoes to boil for Thanksgiving dinner is:
One large potato per person and a few extra in case people want seconds.
