Directions:
Directions:
Add diced potatoes to cold water. Heat potatoes over high heat, stirring occasionally, until water begins to boil.

As soon as water begins to boil, reduce heat to medium high and cover pan with lid and cook about 20 - 25 minutes, until potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.

Remove cooked potatoes from heat and strain any excess water from potatoes. Pour strained potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add butter in pieces over potatoes and mash potatoes with a potato masher until smooth, about 2 - 3 minutes

Add milk to mashed potatoes, season with 2 tsp of salt and pepper to taste then using and electric hand mixer on low speed blend until well combine (adding more salt as desired).

Then increase speed to medium-high speed and whip for about 2 - 3 minutes, add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency (if you like thick mashed potatoes you may not want to add it, and if you like them thin you can add a little more milk to thin as desired), until potatoes are fluffy and smooth. Serve warm topped with gravy or butter if desired. Serves 8
