Bring a pot with 2(ish) quarts of water to a boil.
Peel and chop the potatoes into 2" thick pieces.
Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes to the pot and cook for 16 - 20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes then mash them using a potato masher or pastry cutter. Add the remaining ingreidents and stir until smooth. Taste and add more salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the the mashed potatoes with your favorite protein and vegetable (check the post for more ideas!). Enjoy!
