Even an experienced housewife sometimes will not immediately answer this question. However, in order to ensure the quality of the puree is beyond doubt, the water is first salted, brought to a boil, and only then the potatoes are put into the pan.

Supplements

If we are talking about butter, then it is introduced at the moment when the potatoes have already been mashed. If you want to introduce milk or cream, then heat them up.
