                                          • Boil potatoes in a large stock pot for 35–40 minutes until tender.
                                            Drain well.
                                          • Heat milk in stock pot over medium heat.
                                            Stir occasionally.
                                          • Add margarine, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
                                            DO NOT BOIL.

                                          • Place the potatoes in a commercial mixer (batch as needed). Using a wire whip attachment, mix on low speed. Slowly add milk mixture until potatoes are smooth and free of lumps.
                                            For 50 servings, whip for 8–10 minutes.

                                            For 100 servings, use 4 pans.
                                          • Option: garnish with ground black pepper.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
