Un-chic Country Mashed Potatoes Recipe
No, there are no "peels" in the mashed potatoes. Disgusting. And no, there are no lumps, which is just as disgusting. The Baby Jesus cries when you make lumpy mashed potatoes, as do my mother and both my grandmothers from beyond the grave. And by the... More

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

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.

These are whipped potatoes for those who like air filled and don't like lumps.

Try adding a LITTLE white pepper. It's classic with mashed or whipped potatoes. ENJOY!


1 stick of butter----yeah!!
we are soul mates!! lol
you need to add some sour cream


The ultimate mashed tater recipe! Thumbs up on the entire stick of butter!!


I've been doing 1/2 stick of buttter and 4 oz. heavy cream along with one head of roasted galic lately. I like this recipe for getting back to basics.


Sounds like mine, except I use white potatoes and I add a little salt and don't measure the milk, lol. I've made them so much I just KNOW what it looks like. I'm sure everyone has those recipes! I'm always the "mashed potato maker" at get-togethers!


Souds like a super potatoe supper to me . Ilove potatoes
