Stovetop Preparation
In large saucepan, add cut-up (1-inch) potatoes to 2 inches boiling water to cover. Return to a boil. Reduce heat and cook, covered, about 12 minutes or until tender; drain. (If cooking whole potatoes, allow 30 to 40 minutes.) Heat potatoes over medium-low heat 1 minute to evaporate excess moisture, stirring occasionally. Using electric hand mixer or potato masher, mash potatoes. Mix in milk, butter (if desired), salt and pepper.

Microwave Oven Preparation
In microwave-safe dish, combine 1 1/2 pounds quartered potatoes and 3 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave on high 12 to 14 minutes or until tender. Mash potatoes as described above; stir in milk, butter (if desired), salt and pepper.

To keep your mashed potatoes hot, heat the milk or cream before adding to the potatoes. When prepared ahead of time, keep mashed potatoes warm by placing in top of double boiler or in a pot over hot water.
