- 8 cups water
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cubed and softened
- ¼ cup milk, hot
- salt and ground white pepper, to taste
To serve:
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¼ tsp parsley, chopped
Instructions
-
Boil potatoes in water for 12 to 15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain once potatoes are done.

Mash the potatoes using any tool of your choice then transfer them to a mixing bowl.
-
While the mashed potatoes are still warm, add the butter and mix until the butter has melted and is evenly incorporated into the potatoes.
-
Gradually add your milk until the mashed potatoes become smooth. You may need to keep the potatoes warm through a microwave, by heating them up in 10-second bursts over medium.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust accordingly.
-
Portion your mashed potatoes accordingly, then top with butter and garnish with parsley. Best eaten while the butter is slowly melting on top of the potatoes.
