First let’s try some recipes and then when you get comfortable with it, you can experiment on your own. Let’s start from simple.

INGREDIENTS
2 pounds of potatoes
1/2 cup of milk
2-6 tablespoons of butter
Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS
1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut it in half, lengthwise.

2. Add the potatoes to a large pot with enough water to cover them. Add a tablespoon of salt.

3. Bring the water to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife. 25-30 minutes or so.

4. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Cook the drained potatoes over low heat for a couple of minutes to evaporate some of the water still in the potato.


5. Remove from heat and mash it until smooth by your method of choice. (I just used a very big fork because I didn’t have those masher tools. How you mash it depends on how you want the texture to be.)

6. Blend the butter while it’s still hot. Add the milk, salt and pepper to taste. Mix.
You can garnish your mashed potatoes with some chopped parsley if you like.

Enjoy!
