• Mashed Potatoes [View Recipe]

  Quick View

  Ingredients

  • 2 pounds potatoes
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • salt & pepper

  Instructions

  We start by scrubbing the 3 large potatoes and peeling them. We cut them in half and put them in a pot of cold water. We bring it to a boil, add some salt, and simmer partially covered for about 25 minutes. We want the potatoes to be fork-tender.

  We drain them in a colander and put them back into the dry pot for a few minutes over the turned off burner. While they are still hot, we rice them into a big bowl. We cover with plastic wrap for a few minutes until we are almost ready to eat. We microwave the potatoes for a minute to be sure they are nice and hot. Then we microwave the milk for a minute. 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!
