Place the potatoes in a pot with cold water.

Turn the stove on high heat to boil the potatoes.

Check the potatoes with a fork to see if they are ready; they should break easily but not be too mushy.

Once the potatoes are ready, drain the water.

Put the potatoes through a potato masher.

Scrape off any mashed potatoes stuck to the masher.

Add 50 g of butter to the hot potatoes to melt.

Add salt to taste, keeping in mind the pecorino cheese will add saltiness.

Add a splash of hot full cream milk and mix.

Continue adding milk until the desired creaminess is achieved, mixing until the butter and cheese melt into the potatoes.
