    Place the potatoes with their skins into cold water just covered by it, add a small amount of salt.

    

    1. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and cook until tender inside. While the potatoes are boiling, mix butter and milk together and microwave until the butter melts. Repeat step 4.Set aside for later use..

    

    2. Place cooked potatoes in ice water; peeling will be easy without being too hot. Dry off any excess moisture. While still warm, mash the potatoes using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

    

    Gradually add the butter and milk mixture while stirring with a wooden spoon, adjusting according to desired consistency. The final mashed potatoes should be soft and slightly moist but able to hold shape.Finally, adjust taste by adding salt and white pepper; you can use black pepper instead for tiny black specks on the surface. 10. Transfer the mashed potatoes into a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle and pipe out individual Christmas tree shapes onto a plate.
