Mashed Potatoes Recipe
I don't like instant mashed potatoes at all. I make mine from scratch like many cooks out there.
I like them either with butter and sour cream or butter and milk in them both are delicious. But, if you don't have milk or sour cream on hand you can substitute 1/4 cup real mayo, still taste great.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup milk or sour cream
- 6 medium sized potatoes (any will do)
- 3 tbsp butter ( I use smart balance)
- 1 tsp salt (optional)
- 1 tsp black pepper (optional)
Directions
- In a stock pot fill about half way with water enough to cover potatoes
- cook on medium heat until tender almost falling apart when pierced with a fork
- drain water
- place butter, sour cream or milk in a medium sized bowl
- dump potatoes in bowl add salt and pepper
- mix on medium high with mixer until smooth
- Serve Hot
