Hi,
I didn't know there was such a thing as a countertop steamer. That's pretty
cool and I might have to look into one. I like steamed broccoli and green
beans, so it would be a worthwhile investment. Thanks for the idea, Nicole.
OH and you're welcom, Mary, for the recipe. I'm glad you like it. I also put
ranch in my mashed potatoes sometimes. One of my friends did that when she
made mashed potatoes for me a while back and I love it. Then again, I love
ranch and some people don't.
Take care,
Dawnielle

I like potatoes for mashing steamed instead of boiled -- they keep more of
their nutrients that way and still come out just as soft. I put them in a
steamer on the stove or a countertop steamer for about 25 minutes. If I use
a countertop steamer then the water in the catch tray goes back into the
potatoes to keep all the nutrition in the recipe.

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.

How long do you boil the potatoes?

slide into them with no resistance. 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.
