Ingredients

  • 2-3 lbs small red potatoes
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or enough to cover the potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Scrub the potatoes and if you prefer peeled potatoes peel them now
  2. Dice the potatoes so that they are small and close in size (dicing them to similar sizes will help ensure the potatoes cook evenly)
  3. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper then cover with chicken broth and bring to a boil

  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes or until fork tender
  5. In a small sauce pan melt the butter and then stir in milk until combined
  6. Pour mixture over potatoes and mash until desired consistency
