Ingredients

3 pounds russet potatoes
1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
¼ cup milk
3 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Instructions

Peel potatoes and cut into chunks.
Place potatoes in a large saucepan or dutch oven and cover 2" over potatoes with cold water. You can leave the skin on some or all of the potatoes, just be sure to scrub them well if you are leaving it on. Put ½ tsp salt in the water with the potatoes.
Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium/medium low heat and simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain in a large colander.
Heat milk in the microwave or on the stove-top in a small saucepan.
Place cooked potatoes into bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add butter and mix on low speed (2 on a KitchenAid) for about 30 seconds to a minute. Add warm milk and mix on medium speed (6 or 8 on a KitchenAid) until potatoes have a fluffy texture. Reduce to low, add salt and pepper and mix until smooth.

Notes

Consistency is personal preference, add enough milk so the potatoes are the consistency you like best. This can vary based on the potatoes and how much they are cooked.
