Rinse the peeled potato chunks and put them in a large, microwave-safe bowl.

Cover the or bowl with plastic wrap and cut a small vent in the top for steam to escape.

Put the potatoes in the microwave on high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave, then transfer to a larger bowl for mashing.

Warm up the milk with the butter in the microwave until the butter is melted or nearly melted.

Add the milk mixture to the hot potatoes and mash with a hand masher or portable mixer, don’t over mix it.

Add the salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped scallions, and it’s ready to serve with any of your favorite entrée or just by itself, enjoy.
