Instructions: Place whole potatoes in large pot with cold salted water to cover. Bring to boil over high heat then simmer, covered, until potatoes are just tender (about twenty minutes). Drain. Peel potatoes and put through food mill or ricer into a warm, dry saucepan. Heat milk and butter in small saucepan until warm and butter is melted. Pour milk/butter mixture into potatoes and mix well. Generously season with lots of pepper and serve.

The "best" recipe is a matter of opinion, of course...but my opinion is that these are THE best mashed potatoes Ive ever had. I wouldnt have believed it if I hadnt tried it, but making mashed potatoes this way

(cooking them whole and adding warm milk and melted butter) really does make a world of difference. I would eat these every day if I could:-)
