Rinse the potatoes to avoid dropping them down the drain.

Cut the potatoes into quarters instead of small pieces for easier cooking.

Place the quartered potatoes in a pot and cover with water to boil.

Let the potatoes boil for about 15 minutes, or until a knife goes in easily.

Drain the potatoes in a colander.

Add a good amount of milk, a nice fluff of butter, and about a tablespoon of sugar to the drained potatoes.

Mix until well blended, adding a little more milk if they are not creamy enough.
