Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks.
Put in a pan, cover with water and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are soft when pierced with the point of a knife.
Drain well, keep covered and allow sit for 5 minutes for the potatoes to dry off a little.
Pass the potatoes through a potato ricer or mash well until lump free and smooth.
Heat the milk and butter together until the butter has melted and add to the potatoes. Add a little more milk if needed to make a soft mash. Check the seasoning and adjust if necessary. Serve hot with a generous knob of butter melting on top.
