Mashed potatoes with milk and butter are very smooth, leaving a pleasant creamy aftertaste. Their texture also depends on the method of mashing. For a smooth and creamy result, it's best to use a sieve or a potato masher. A pinch of freshly grated nutmeg will impart a light, spicy flavor to the mashed potatoes. Serve as a side dish with meat and fish dishes or with a fresh vegetable salad.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a large saucepan, place the potatoes, 1 teaspoon of salt, and add enough cold water to cover them completely. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain, leaving the potatoes in the saucepan.
Place over medium heat and heat, shaking the pan, for about a minute to dry out the potatoes. Transfer the potatoes to a sieve, a potato masher, or a bowl. - Pour the milk and butter into a saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until the milk is hot and the butter is melted. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Press the potatoes through a sieve, mash them with a potato masher, or mash them with a potato masher.
Stir in the milk and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add nutmeg if desired. Serve immediately.
