Instructions
- Put potatoes into a large pan with the low-fat milk, water, bay leaf, halved onion, and peppercorns.
- Add enough additional water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower the heat and let it bubble steadily for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender and almost falling apart.
- Lift the potatoes from the cooking water and transfer them to a bowl. Discard the bay leaf, onion, and peppercorns. Do not discard the cooking water.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid to mash the potatoes with a potato masher or pastry blender until blended.
- Add 2 more tablespoons of the water and continue to mash until the potatoes are light and fluffy. Add another tablespoon if necessary.
- Beat in the unsalted butter, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, then serve immediately.
