Peel the potatoes and place in a large pot. Potatoes should be roughly the same size, to ensure even cooking. Fill pot with enough water to cover potatoes and cook the potatoes for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender but not falling apart.

Recipe Notes
Can use unpeeled washed potatoes for a more rustic style of mashed potatoes. If preparing a large meal for Christmas or Thanksgiving, can be prepared in advance and kept warm in a slow cooker until your're ready to serve. A great time saver!
