Ingredients

2 lb Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
¼–½ cup warm lactose-free milk or broth
¾ tsp salt

Instructions

Boil the potatoes in salted water 15–20 minutes until very tender.
Drain and return to the warm pot for 1 minute to steam off the water.
Mash with the butter, then mix in the warm milk or broth a little at a time until smooth. A ricer gives the smoothest result.
