Mashed Potatoes with Red Skin
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes cut into equal pieces
- 4-6 tablespoons butter

Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

- Pour the milk and butter mixture over the mashed potatoes. Stir to combine. Add more milk or butter if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Notes
