Steam potatoes. Peel and purée them with a vegetable mill. Put mashed potatoes together with butter and salt in a saucepan. Cook over a gentle flame until butter is well melted. At this point begin adding cold milk gradually, stirring. It's impossible to say what is the right quantity of milk: it depends on many things. But mashed potatoes must be soft and dry!
