Instructions
- Plonk the potatoes in a large saucepan, add water to cover by one inch (25 mm), and add 2 tablespoons salt.
- Cover, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer uncovered until the potatoes are very tender when pierced, 15 to 17 minutes.
- Drain in a colander and reserve the saucepan.
- Warm the milk In a small saucepan over low heat just until it simmers. Turn off the heat. Set aside.
- Using a potato ricer or food mill fitted with the finest blade set above the large saucepan, mash the potatoes into the pan.
- Set the saucepan over low heat and vigorously whisk in the cold butter several cubes at a time, waiting for each addition to be incorporated before adding more.
- When all the butter is added, slowly whisk in enough of the hot milk to make the potatoes creamy but still thick. You might have some milk left over.
- Add 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Whisk in the lemon zest, taste for seasoning, and serve hot.
