Preparation
Boil the potatoes
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Peel and medium-dice the potatoes.
- Add to the pot of boiling water and boil, 14 to 16 min., until very tender.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and return to the pot.
- Off the heat, add 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions).
- Mash, gradually adding the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency; season with S&P.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to broil.
