Start by peeling the potatoes. Cut them into equal-sized slices and add them to a large pot.
Fill the pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes, and then add salt.
Bring the water to a boil and cook them for 20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the water from the pot, set the heat to medium-low and use a potato masher to mash the potatoes.
Add the milk, double cream and butter and stir them until the potatoes soak up all the ingredients.
Once it has a silky smooth texture, add salt and pepper to your liking and serve.
