Cook for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are extremely soft and the liquid is nearly gone.

Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes.  Add 2/3 cup cream (more if you like your potatoes more runny) or milk and 2 Tablespoons of butter.    Continue mashing until smooth.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

You can leave the potatoes in the pot on warm to keep them warm for serving.  They will get a little sticky and you might need to add more milk and butter to them.  I usually serve them within a half an hour.
