Place the pot on the stovetop and bring it to a boil, then cover the potatoes and let them cook on low heat for about 15 minutes, until they are fork tender.

Drain the potatoes and add them back to the pot. This is how I save on messing up additional dishes. However, feel free to use a mixing bowl if you prefer.

Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes. Make sure to mash them while they are nice and hot.
