Method
- Peel the potatoes and chop them in one inch cubes. Rinse the potatoes under cold running water to wash away the excess starch and transfer them to a pot. Add enough cold water so the potatoes are covered by one inch of water.
- Over high heat, bring the potatoes to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt to the pot – about a half a teaspoon – and stir. Lower the heat to medium-high and continue to cook the potatoes until they are fork tender – about 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain well. Set them aside to cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Transfer the potatoes back to the pot. Mash them using your favourite mashing technique. Once the potatoes are mashed, add all of the remaining ingredients to the pot and either use your hand mixer to combine or stir well with a wooden spoon.
- The mashed potatoes are ready to serve. You can place them onto individual plates or transfer them to a serving bowl and top with extra melted butter and fresh parsley for garnish. To keep the potatoes warm, leave them in the pot and cover with a lid. Keep the potatoes on a burner of the lowest heat setting. Stir regularly to avoid burning the potatoes or drying them out.

Notes
If you keep the potatoes warm, stir them often to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
