• 3 tablespoons butter
• ½ cup milk or cream
• Salt, to taste

For the Ground Beef and Gravy

• 1 pound ground beef

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into evenly sized chunks. Cutting them into similar pieces ensures they cook at the same rate.

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water, which helps season the potatoes as they cook.

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
