Wash and scrub the potatoes. Pierce the potatoes with a fork 6-8 times all around. Microwave the potatoes (one at a time) for 10-13 min, flipping them over halfway through.
Once soft to the touch, slice the potatoes down the center and carefully peel the skin off. Be sure not to burn your hands. Place the potatoes without the skin into a large bowl.
Using a potato masher or a fork, start mashing the potatoes up.
Pour 1.5 cups of milk the into the potatoes and continue mashing. If they appear dry, add ½ cup more of the milk.
Add the room temperature butter into the hot potatoes. They should melt the butter nicely as you continue mashing and mixing.

Drizzle the olive oil on top of the potatoes in a circular motion and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
Serve warm and enjoy!
