Step 2
Remove from heat and drain water from potatoes. Add to cooked potatoes, butter pieces, salt and a little milk at a time while whipping with a mixer or a hand potato masher. The potatoes should not be runny or dry, we like the potatoes a little lumpy. They may be covered with your favorite gravy or a generous portion of butter.
