Description

Even though mashed potatoes are a little bit time-consuming, they’re definitely worth the wait. The taste of instant mashed potatoes just can’t come close to the taste of real mashed potatoes. If you want the perfect side dish, these mashed potatoes are incredibly delicious.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 medium white potatoes
  • 6 Tablespoons butter or margarine
  • ¾ cup hot milk or 6 Tablespoons evaporated milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. Boil scrubbed potatoes in 1 inch boiling salted water in covered saucepan, for 35-40 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
  2. Peel, place over low heat 1 or 2 minutes, to dry out, shaking pan gently.
  3. Mash thoroughly, using a potato masher, until no lumps remain. Or use an electric beater.
  4. While mashing or beating gradually add enough of the combined butter and milk to make potatoes fluffy and creamy. Season to taste.
