Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a pan and cover with salted water.

Notes
Depending on the use for the potatoes, the quantities of butter and milk can be adjusted. A super rich version in the style of some exclusive restaurants can be made by greatly increasing the amount of butter incorporated, to almost equal the volume of potato. (See Joel Robuchon).
