Ingredients

3 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces
1 tbsp kosher salt, for the water
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup whole milk (or half-and-half)
Salt and black pepper
Chopped chives, to serve

Method

Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by an inch, and add the salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer until a knife slides in easily, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, warm the milk and butter in a small pan until the butter melts.
Drain the potatoes well and put them back in the pot over low heat for a minute to dry out.
Mash them, then stir in the warm milk and butter until creamy. Season with salt and pepper and top with chives.

Notes from the source

To keep them warm for up to an hour, cover the pot and set it over another pot of barely simmering water.
