   MASHED POTATOES
   
   Peel and quarter 3 pounds baking potatoes (such as russet or Yukon gold). In a covered 4-quart Dutch oven, cook potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt in enough boiling water to cover for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender; drain. Mash with a potato masher or beat with an electric mixer on low speed. Add ¼ cup butter. Season to taste with additional salt and ground black pepper. Gradually beat in enough milk to make light and fluffy. If desired, serve with additional butter.
