Leftover Pot Roast and Mashed Potatoes
The only thing missing from Sunday's
pot roast was mashed potatoes. We added
those to tonight's leftover meal, plus some salad and bread. So sleepy...

Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes (scrubbed)
- 1 cup milk (heated in the microwave for 1 minute)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- salt & pepper
Instructions
We put the scrubbed potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. We bring it to a boil, add some salt, and simmer covered for about 25 minutes. We want the potatoes to be fork-tender.
We drain them in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes. We peel them while they are still hot (being careful!) and rice them into a big bowl. We add the heated milk, stirring with a spatula, and then the butter. We stir and add salt and pepper to taste until the butter is melted and the potatoes taste delicious!
