Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes! Or I-forgot-to-take-pictures-of-the-recipe-that-was-supposed-to-be-here-before-it-got eaten!! So here's a simple side dish for you to make!

The Details:

Peel your potatoes, and cut into cubes about an inch wide. Place in pot with enough water to completely cover the potatoes. Bring to boil. Boil until a knife inserted into the potato comes out without any resistance, anywhere from 20 to 50 minutes depending on how many potatoes used. Remove from heat and drain. Mash potatoes. Add desired amount of butter and milk.

You can use as many, or as little, potatoes as you want to. I use a potato masher to mash them, or you can also use a potato ricer. Or I've heard of people using a mixer. Or you could use your hands. That'd be fun but the other people eating might look at you strange. Not that I would know.

. . .

Anyway, I usually use about 1/2 stick of butter and 1/2 cup of milk for 5 medium potatoes. Add a small amount of milk at a time until it gets to the consistency you want.

Happy Cooking!
