Mashed potatoes.

Directions:

  • Fill pot with water. Peel and rinse potatoes. Chop into 1.5 inch cubes, should all be similar in size for even cooking.

  • Put potatoes in cold water and add salt to water. Bring potatoes to a boil, do not cover. Cook potatoes until fork goes in easily, approx. 20-25 minutes.

  • Completely drain water from pot and leave potatoes in. Put the potatoes back on the burner, medium heat, continuously move potatoes around with fork to dry them out and remove all water.

  • Remove pot from stove. Lightly mash potatoes then add 1/2 cup milk and 2 tbsp. butter - keep mashing. Do not over mash - just remove large lumps. Once mashed to the right consistency continue alternately mixing in small amounts butter and milk with a fork until you reach desired taste and consistency. At the end taste and add a little salt if necessary.
