Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- A little water (if needed)

Instructions
- Peel and cube the potatoes, then place them in a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10–15 minutes, until tender. Drain and mash until smooth.
