Notes
I love the flavor of Yukon Gold (yellow) potatoes here. However, you can substitute other potatoes, such as Russet, Idaho, or even red potatoes, if you prefer.
The amount of milk you need will depend on how much moisture is in your potatoes, as well as how thick you like them. Start with a little ... you can always add more.
