Cut each potato into 3 pieces. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, 20-25 minutes. Drain well.

When the potatoes are just cool enough to handle, peel and place them in a large bowl. Using a fork, mash them roughly.
