GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Cook Potatoes
- Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them.

Step 2: Mash It
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the softened butter, salt, and 1/2 cup of the milk.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or a fork until they're smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add more milk as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 3: Serve

NOTES
Use high-quality, organic ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Don't over-mix the potatoes, or they'll become gluey. Adjust the amount of milk to your liking, depending on how thick or thin you prefer your mashed potatoes.
