Mashed Potatoes

We peel the potatoes and cut them into medium-sized cubes.

We place the potatoes in a pot with tap water and bring them to a boil until fully cooked.

We test the doneness by inserting a fork into the center — if it slides in easily, the potatoes are ready.

We drain the potatoes thoroughly from the water.

While still hot, we mash the potatoes using a potato ricer or by pressing them through a fine sieve to achieve a very smooth texture.

We add the butter and stir until fully melted and incorporated.

We gradually add the milk while mixing until we reach the desired creamy, thick consistency.

We season with salt to taste and serve the mashed potatoes hot, alongside main dishes.

Note: The amount of butter and milk may vary depending on the type of potato
