Everyone has a different preference for how mashed potatoes should be done. I like to have a little bit of texture, but not too lumpy. I use a hand masher and a whisk to minimize the working of the potatoes. The less mixing the better the potatoes.
Ingredients:
6 medium potatoes
1 tablespoon salt
water, to cover
salt, to-taste
black pepper, to-taste
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
Directions:
1. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
2. Place in water and bring to a boil.
3. Boil potatoes with 1 tablespoons of salt until fork tender.
4. Drain potatoes. Put into bowl with butter.
5. Then mash the potatoes with a hand masher.
6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Add milk and whisk until creamy as you want it.
8. Don't overwork or the potatoes will be too tough and sticky.
