From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser<\/h4>\n\n\n

Place in a large pot:<\/p>\n

6 potatoes<\/strong><\/em>, peeled & cut into chunks<\/p>\n

Cover with salted water.<\/p>\n

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.<\/p>\n

Cover & simmer until easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Drain.<\/p>\n

Return the potatoes to the pot.<\/p>\n

Turn heat to high, and allow the potatoes to dry for about 30 seconds.<\/p>\n

Turn off the heat.<\/p>\n

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher a few times around the pot, then add:<\/p>\n

1\/2 c butter<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1\/4 c milk<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Continue to mash until smooth and fluffy.<\/p>\n

If too dry, add more milk.<\/p>\n

NOTE<\/p>\n
