Grandma’s Mashed Potato

2️⃣ Place the potatoes in the saucepan with the milk.

Choose a heavy-bottomed saucepan, ideal for gentle and even cooking. Pour in the potatoes and cover them almost entirely with milk: the liquid should touch the potatoes without completely submerging them. Add a pinch of salt.

3️⃣ Simmer

Heat over low heat and slowly bring the milk to a boil. Let it cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring gently from time to time to prevent the milk from sticking or burning.

As the potatoes cook, they will absorb the milk, making them fragrant and creamy. A little milk will remain, creating a velvety base that will enhance the mashed potatoes.

4️⃣ Add butter and seasonings.
When the potatoes are tender (check with a fork), turn off the heat and stir in the butter. If desired, add a generous pinch of nutmeg and grated Parmesan for an aromatic and flavorful touch.
