1. Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover them with water.

3. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy.
4. Meanwhile, combine the milk and butter in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat.
5. Bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
6. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pan, and set the pan over low heat for 1 minute to dry the potatoes out.
