Instructions:
1. Prepare the potatoes:
Peel the potatoes (if you prefer) or leave the skin on for more texture and nutrients.
Cut the potatoes into uniform chunks (about 2-inch pieces) to ensure they cook evenly.
2. Cook the potatoes:
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water (about 1-2 inches above the potatoes).
Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and easily pierced with a knife.
3. Drain and mash the potatoes:
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot or place them in a large mixing bowl.
Let them sit for a minute or so to allow excess steam to evaporate.
4. Mash the potatoes:
