I like to leave the skins of my potatoes when I make mashed potatoes - I usually use about 2!.5 pounds of potatoes for two people because we like leftover mashed and I prefer to use Yukon Gold but Idaho or russets will work just as well, it all depends on what type of potato you prefer!.

Cut your potatoes into uniform sized chunks or cubes, place into a pot and cover with slightly salted water!.

Bring to a boil and cook on meduim heat for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender and soft!.

Drain the cooked potatoes well and put back into the cooking pot or into a large mixing bowl!.

Add 1 stick of butter, some salt and pepper to taste and mash with a fork or a potato masher!. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk depending on how creamy you like your potatoes and mix with a mixer until the potatoes are light and fluffy!.

For an added twist, you can use whipping cream instead of milk; whip in a small container of sour cream; mix in some shredded cheese or some roasted garlic or garlic powder!.

use two potatoes per person,you can peel or leave it on but wash them real good!. cut them up in small pieces rinse them in a strainer then fill a large pot with water to cover them and maybe an extra cup of water for good measure, put 1/2 teaspoon of salt if you prefer!. let them boil till they become tender for a fork to go thru them!. Drain them put them in a mixing bowl add 1 tablespoon of butter about 1/4 to a 1/2 cup of milk mix with electric mixer low speed till they are fluffy and smooth!. taste to see if you prefer more butter to your taste they should peak a little when you stop the mixer and pull the blades out!.

1) peel your potatoes and cut into one inch cubes, or cubes of like size!.
2) Add potatoes to a pan of water, cover 1 inch above the potatoes!.
3) Boil water and add 1 tsp of salt!.
3) Reduce to simmer, cook until fork tender - when you can stick a fork into the potato easily and twist and it breaks apart!.
4) While the potatoes are cooking, warm a saucepan, with a few tablespoons of butter (6-8) and 1 -2 cups of cream!. Salt and pepper the cream!. You can add some whole cracked garlic cloves for taste while heating - discard the cloves before you add the cream/butter to the potatoes - or you can chop a clove or two and add to the cream/butter while heating and this will go into the potatoes!. What ever you do, don't boil the cream or scald it, just heat so the butter melts and the cream is warm - this is so you don't add a cold mixture to the hot potatoes
5) Once the potatoes are fork tender, drain and return to the same cooking pot!. Put them back on the burner on med-low heat - you should hear some hissing or sizzling, this is getting the rest of the water out of the potatoes, don't burn or scortch them, just keep them on the burner on low heat until the hissing lessons!.
6) using a potato masher, mash potatoes to the desired smoothness!. While mashing slowly add in the heated cream/butter!. Mix in to your desired creaminess - you can make them thick by adding less, or thin by adding more cream/butter!.
7) Taste, add salt and pepper if needed!.

8) top with a bit of fresh chopped chives and a dallop of sour creamWww@FoodAQ@Com

I wash, peel and cube them!. Put them in pot of water and boil till soft!.

Drain the taters, put them in a bowl, and add the cream cheese in cubes!. Mash a bit with the beaters of an electric mixer, then turn it on to whip them a bit!. Then add your garlic butter!. Keep mixing until it's the consistency you like!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
