Ingredients
-
2 ½ pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed
-
4 tablespoons butter
-
¾ cup reduced-fat milk, warmed
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
Directions
-
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook until very tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain. Quarter the cooked potatoes and, in batches, pass them through a ricer or food mill into a large microwaveable bowl. Stir in butter, milk, salt and pepper.
-
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply poke a few holes into the plastic wrap and microwave until the potatoes are warmed through.
Tips
To make ahead: Prepare potatoes (Step 1); cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
