Method

• Peel, quarter, and rinse the potatoes. Put the potatoes in a pot, add the salt, and cover with cold water.
• Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook until tender but still firm, about 15-20 minutes. Drain them well.
• Heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan. Using a potato masher or electric beater, mash the potatoes with oil and sour cream. Add freshly ground black pepper. Slowly blend milk mixture into potatoes until smooth and silky creamy.
