Cooking Instructions
Put potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per quart of water. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes depending upon the size of the potatoes.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk and butter.
Drain the potatoes and pass them through a food mill or a potato ricer while still warm. Gently fold in the warm milk and butter. Season to taste with the sea salt.
Serves 4.
