MY MASHED TATERS

Steps:

• In a medium sized saucepan add potatoes and enough water to cover potatoes.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for about 20 minutes.
• Drain and return to saucepan.
• With electric mixer, mix until "mealy looking" (slightly dry looking).

EASY SMASHED TATERS

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes into 1 inch cubes. In a large pot, cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat, covered. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook until the potatoes are tender. 30-45 minutes.
• Drain and return the pot to the stove, and over low heat, melt the butter. Return the potatoes to the pot and add the rest of the ingredients. Stir well, and mash until smooth.
• Enjoy.

MAMA'S MASHED TATERS

Steps:

• Put peeled, cubed potatoes into a medium size pot and cover with cold water. Bring the potatoes to boil over medium high heat and let cook about 30 minutes or until fork tender. Drain the potatoes, do not rinse. Put the stick of butter into the hot dry pot and dump the potatoes on top. Mash the potatoes and butter together with a hand masher just until broken up and the butter begins to melt into the potatoes. Add the whipping cream and beat with a electric mixer until there are no lumps and the potatoes are light and fluffy. Add or reduce the amount of whipping cream to make the potatoes the consistency that you like. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• NOTE: I have used all different kinds of potatoes for this recipe and I have found that russet baking potatoes make the best mashed potatoes. Just a suggestion.

LOADED SMASHED TATERS

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, 15-20 minutes or until tender., Drain; return to pan. Lightly mash potatoes, gradually adding milk, cream cheese and butter to reach desired consistency. Stir in bacon, cheeses, green onions, tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper.

CREAMY MASHED TATERS

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes and yams in a large pot, chop them, and mash. You may peel them if desired, though that puts down the fiber content.
• Add butter, milk, and half and half.
• Stip well and enjoy!
