MONSTER MASH-ED POTATOES!

Steps:

• In a large pot, add in your quartered potatoes and then enough water to cover them. Bring this to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Boil until the potatoes are fork tender (about 8 to 10 minutes).
• When your potatoes are tender, drain off all of the water and keep your hot potatoes in the pot.
• I like to take my potato masher and lightly mash my potatoes before adding in the other ingredients.
• Next, add in all of the other yummy ingredients and lightly mash it in until it's combined. Your cheese will melt inside.
• You're ready to serve!

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat milk, water and margarine to a rapid boil over medium-high heat (watch carefully to avoid boilover).

• Meanwhile, cut 4 pieces plastic wrap, about 9x12 inches each. Line insides of 4 (6-oz) custard cups with plastic wrap; spray with cooking spray. Divide potatoes evenly among custard cups. Press firmly; turn upside down onto individual serving plates.

Steps:

• Peel, cut up and boil potatoes until tender.
• Drain water and put potatoes in a mixing bowl.
• Add margarine, sour cream and milk.
• Use an electric mixer and mix until desired consistency.
• The KEY here is to add salt and pepper to taste.
• You might add anywhere from a teaspoon to several tablespoons of salt, just depending on how much you like salt.
• Pepper is the same way, although use it more sparingly.
• Just remember to add a little at a time, until you get it where you like it.
• Once that is done, I usually put a couple of pats of margarine on top of the finished potatoes to let it melt.
• Then sprinkle parsley over it.
• This will make the best mashed potatoes I've ever found anywhere.

Mash the potatoes through the food mill, ricer, or by hand into the pan. Stir to combine with the milk and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add nutmeg, if desired. Serve immediately.
