Notes
When boiling potatoes for mashed potatoes, cut them as evenly as possible, then put them in a large pot, and cover with water by a couple inches. Bring to a boil, cover, turn temp down to medium-low, and let simmer 10-20 minutes until soft, and tender when poked with a fork.
Cover tightly and store up to 3-5 days before baking to serve.
