I generally boil the potatos if whole about 35 to 40 minutes and when they start to fall apart then they are ready for mashing. If you cut up the potatos they cook much faster.

Then drain all the water out, add maybe three tablespoons of butter (the amount is up to your taste and the batch of potatoes) and a splash of milk and beat with a hand mixer or potatoe masher. If they are too thick, add more mil, but they are hard to thicken if you overdo it with the milk so be careful. Add salt, pepper, whatever you want. We normally feed four and have some left over, so scale this to your needs. As I said, plain and boring, but everyone in the house loves them. > On Sep 11, 2013, at 11:20 PM, [email protected] wrote: > >> What are some quick and easy recipes for mashed potatoes? >> Mary >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> _______________________________________________ >> Cookinginthedark mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark > > > > Have a great day, > Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini) > [email protected] > > > > _______________________________________________ > Cookinginthedark mailing list > [email protected] > http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
