Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.

Step 2

Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Add the butter to the hot potatoes and mash them until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
