Choose starchy and floury yellow potatoes for the recipe.

Cut the potatoes into larger pieces to avoid watery mashed potatoes.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring it to a boil.

Cook the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes until soft enough to poke through with a fork.

Drain the potatoes from the water.

While still hot, add diced butter and cover to let it melt for a minute.

Remove the lid and add milk and freshly grated nutmeg.

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth and creamy.

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and sprinkle with freshly chopped chives or parsley leaves.

Serve immediately.
