Mashed Potatoes

Place potatoes in 4 to 5-quart saucepan; cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cook potatoes 18 to 20 minutes or until fork tender. Drain well. Return potatoes to saucepan. Mash with potato masher. Add butter; continue mashing, gradually adding hot milk, until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
