Comfort foods come in many shapes and sizes. One such
comfort food is homemade mashed potatoes.
Mashed potatoes are a simple and easy dish. I hope your
family finds it to be as delicious as mine does.
Annie’s Magnificent Homemade Mashed Potatoes
- Peel eight medium-sized potatoes. Quarter them and place in pot of water, with water covering them by at least 1 inch.
- Place wooden spoon across the top of the pot. This will prevent the pot from boiling over.
- Boil until potatoes are softened. Drain.
- Add ¼ cup of butter. Not margarine, y’all. Butter.
- Add 2 teaspoons of sea salt. Regular table salt will do in a pinch.
- Allow butter to melt into the potatoes.
- Mash potatoes with a potato masher. I suppose you can use a mixer if you absolutely must, but I really would rather you invest in a good masher with little squares in it. It gives the potatoes the perfect consistency.
- Once mashed, add milk as needed. I usually start out with ½ cup of milk. Stir it in, and then add more milk until it is the consistency you desire.
- Dish into serving bowl, sprinkle with chives if you wish, and serve.
Voila! Super yummy homemade mashed potatoes, made by you,
for those you love.
