1/4 lb. butter
1/2 cup milk
kosher salt and pepper to taste.
The recipe is simplicity itself. Boil potatos until fork tender, drain. Add butter in one tbsp. peices and add milk. Mash with your preferred implement until the consistency is semi-smooth. Good mashed potatos need lumps. Add kosher salt and pepper to taste.
eta: RT, couldn't you have started with something a bit more complicated? I bet even Hank can make decent mashed potatos

Add garlic, leeks, or onion to the boiling water and smash with the potatos. Yummy. My favorite is garlic. Use whole milk. Skim and lowfat are too watery.
