Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Peel potatoes (cut potatoes in half if very large). Place potatoes in a large pot and cover potatoes with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook partially covered until easily pierced with a knife (boil 20-30 min depending on the size of your potatoes). Drain well and transfer to a large bowl. Using a hand mixer mash potatoes lightly by hand to break them up. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds then increase to medium and slowly drizzle in the HOT milk. With mixer on, add softened butter 1 Tbsp at a time, waiting a few seconds between each addition. Potatoes will be whipped and fluffy. Finally add salt and black pepper. Garnish and serve warm.
