Instructions:

1. Fill a large pot with cold water and bring to a boil. Add the chopped potatoes and a sprinkle of salt to the pot.

2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, salt, and pepper, and mash the potatoes with a potato masher or a fork until they're smooth and creamy.

4. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the potatoes are too thick, add a little more milk. If they're too thin, add a little more butter or mash them for a few more minutes.

5. Serve the mashed potatoes hot, garnished with chopped chives or scallions if desired.
