Yield:: 6 to 8 servings

Level:: Easy

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes (4 to 5 medium), peeled and chopped
Kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) salted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk, warmed
Freshly ground pepper
Chopped fresh parsley, for topping

Directions

Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until very tender, about 15 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and return to the saucepan over low heat; cook until any remaining water evaporates, about 2 minutes. Add all but 1 tablespoon butter; mash with a potato masher until smooth. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, then gradually mash in the milk until creamy. Transfer to a serving dish; top with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and chopped parsley.
