Ingredients:

  • 4 large potatoes ( bakers or yellow -- i find that boilers have too much starch and result in gluey mashed )
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 stick butter

Directions:

  1. Peel the potatoes. If you slice them, they cook much more quickly. Boil them in heavily salted water until fork tender, then drain.
  2. Put the butter in the mixing bowl, and the potatoes on top. Cover for five minutes or so (this melts the butter and makes the potatoes easier to mash without nasty lumps). Use the whisk attachment, scraping down the sides and adding milk a tablespoon at a time as necessary. Add salt, and serve with anything.
  3. My mother didn't use so much butter in the potatoes (about half what I use), but she'd always plop a whole stick on top, so it would melt into yellow pools all over the mashed potatoes.
