Perfect Mashed Potatoes

~
I have no exact amount of potatoes, water, salt, butter or milk for you.

Cut Idaho or Russet potatoes into about one inch cubes. Cover with water and stir potatoes; drain in colander. Repeat process until the water is clear when potatoes are stirred. The washing process gets rid of some of the starch that can make mashed potatoes seem more like glue than something you put gravy over. Now cover potatoes with water and add salt; boil until potatoes are tender; drain; taste for salt addition; beat in butter; beat in milk or cream until potatoes are the consistency you want.
