Grandma's Mashed Potatoes Recipe

How to make it

---

• Wash the potatoes, poke them with a fork.
• Microwave them for 20ish minutes.
• Chop the onion up into small pieces.
• Place the onion in the bowl you plan on serving the potatoes in.
• Add butter and garlic, microwave 3 minutes.
• Once the potatoes are done put them on your cutting board and slice them in half, let them cool for a few minutes so you can handle them.
• Once the potatoes are cool enough for you to handle, slice them like spear pickles in 4 long lengths.
• Then chop the potato up fine across the cuts.
• Really this is just to get the skin into small pieces instead of sliding off and not being used.
• We like the skin. All the vitamins you know.
• Put these cubes into the bowl with the onions and garlic.
• Using a potato masher, mash up the potatoes and onion mixture together.
• Add the sea salt and pepper.
• Any other seasoning you might like should be added here, also.
• Add a little milk at a time until the potatoes are as moist as you want them to be.
• We like ours somewhat stiff, more like a dolled up baked potato.
• Easier to make a well in also!
• Serve.
• Top with grated cheese.
• Or gravy!
