Drain cooking water, add 1/2 cube of melted real butter, 1/2 c half n half and use a potato masher and mash till fluffy. Add a touch of season salt to taste (about a half of a teaspoon aught to do it.) Put lid on pot while you do the asparagus.

Very tasty and easy to make and makes a nice presentation when having company. Add a garden salad with poppy seed dressing and a cold dry Chardonnay and dinner is served!

This recipe has two of my most favorite vegetables and the way the potatoes are prepared with garlic has to be on my top methods for that vegetable.
I love the sauce with lime and Tequila.
Five forks and a big smile :)
