Instructions
Microwave the Potatoes
Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover loosely and microwave on high for 6 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Check for Doneness
Pierce the potato cubes with a fork to check tenderness. If they are not completely soft, microwave in additional 1 minute increments until fully cooked through.
Mash and Season
Drain any excess water and mash the potatoes with butter until smooth. Gradually stir in the warm milk until you reach your desired creamy consistency then season with salt and pepper.
