My Mashed Potatoes Food

MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in 3 c water in medium pan until soft, nearly mushy.
• Drain in colander.
• Put potatoes and remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
• Using electric mixer, beat on high until fluffy and smooth.
• Beat longer about 3 minutes after you stop seeing lumps to make them light and fluffy.
• Add more salt to taste.

MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cut potatoes into large chunks; place in a pot; cover with cold water; cook over medium heat until tender but still holding their shape.
• While the potatoes are cooking, grate the cheeses, finely slice the spring onion, and chop the ham into small pieces.
• Warm the milk.
• Drain potatoes; return to the stove for a minute or two to dry out the water.
• Mash potatoes; add the butter and warm milk. You should have a smooth thick mixture.
• Add the Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, spring onion, ham, and salt and pepper to taste; mix well with the potatoes.

MASHED POTATOES

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.
