I’m sure you love to eat mashed potatoes during thanksgiving day, but do you know how it’s made? Mashed potato is an easy food to make. You only need several ingredients and steps before you can eat it. Do you want to know how?

Mashed Potatoes Recipe

• 5 large potatoes (I prefer russet for this recipe)
• 1 stick of butter or margarine (don’t use low-calorie spreads)
• 2 tbsp milk or cream (don’t use low-calorie milk substitutes)

Step 1: Cook the Potatoes Peel and cut your potatoes into halves. Put them in a pot full of cold water. Bring water to boil over high heat then reduce heat to medium-high and cover pot with a lid and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender (test by sticking a fork in the potatoe and if it goes right through, then they’re done. If not, continue to cook).

Step 2: Mash The Potatoes Drain the water from the pot leaving just enough water so that the potatoes are just covered. Return to low heat. Add butter(or margarine) and mash with a potato masher or electric mixer/potato masher to desired consistency. Slowly add milk or cream while mashing until you achieve your desired consistency. Stir well! Serve up your mashed potatoes warm with gravy on top! *Note: If you prefer lumpy mashed potatoes, simply don’t use an electric mixer but instead use a potato masher to mash the potatoes. If

you want your potatoes super creamy, use an electric mixer or whip them with a whip. You can also add 1 tsp of white pepper if desired before serving!
