Ingredients
 

  • 4-5 large Idaho russet potatoes (about 2lb) peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
  • ¼ cup butter
  • Salt/Black Pepper as desired

Instructions

  • To a medium pan, add the potatoes and enough water to within 1-1 ½-inches below the top of the potatoes. This will be about 2 cups of water. Stir in butter and ½ teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Cover and turn the heat to medium-high.
  • Once the potatoes come to a boil, uncover and turn the heat to medium. Stir occasionally and cook until half of the liquid has been soaked up/evaporated and the potatoes are fork tender, about 10-15 Minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
