Ingredients
- 5 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and chopped
- ½ cup butter (another stick never hurt anyone!)
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
Instructions
- Boil potatoes in a large pot of water over medium-high heat until fork-tender.
- Drain potatoes and transfer to a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. (Or use a large bowl with a hand mixer.) Beat potatoes until completely smooth.
- Add butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to potatoes and mix until butter is melted and combined.
- Slowly add evaporated milk until desired consistency is reached. (It's pretty dry out here, so I use nearly a whole can.)
- Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and serve warm. I like to top the potatoes with some more butter and parsley for the holidays.
