- 3 pounds unpeeled red potatoes
- 2 Teaspoons Kosher salt
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup half-and-half

Instructions
- Wash and cut the red potatoes into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on.

- Strain the potatoes, then mash them with a potato masher to your desired consistency.
- Add half of the butter and half-and-half mixture and fold it in, then slowly add the rest of it a little at a time, as needed, making sure to combine it well.
- Taste and add more salt if needed.
