Peel the potatoes using a handheld peeler or a different type that works for left-handers.

Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.

Place the cut potatoes in a pot with warm water.

Add about 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt to the water.

Bring the pot to a boil on high heat, then reduce to medium to medium-high heat for boiling.

Cook the potatoes for about 10 to 12 minutes after the water boils, checking for tenderness by stabbing with a fork.

Drain the potatoes using a lid to hold them in the pot while letting some water escape, or use a colander.

Add about half a cup of milk and half a cube of butter to the hot potatoes.

Add 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of chicken bouillon for flavor.

Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy, adding a quarter cup of Parmesan cheese and white pepper to taste.
