Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer over high heat and add the potatoes. Cover the pot with a lid that is set slightly ajar and bring the water to a boil.
2. Cook for 30 to 35 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.

8. Add two tablespoons of butter pieces over the top of the mashed potatoes and bake in the oven until the butter is melted and the potatoes are heated through.
