Place potatoes in a stockpot filled with water. Make sure there is enough water to cover the potatoes. Cook over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Drain the potatoes and let the potatoes sit for a few minutes to make sure all the water evaporates off the potatoes.
Put the potatoes back in the pot and add in the butter. Mix with a hand held mixer. Then gradually add in the milk as you mix until the potatoes are the consistency that you prefer.
Season with the salt and serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
I used 1/3 cup of milk to make these potatoes but more or less may be needed based on the consistency that you prefer for your mashed potatoes so make sure to add the milk in gradually for this recipe.
