Mashed Potatoes


My mom had a friend who got her kids to eat vegetables by mashing them up in the potatoes. Sounded gross to me but little kids kind of like green or orange mashed potatoes.

Idaho baking potatoes
Butter
Tabasco Sauce
Half and half

Peel and cut potatoes into chunks - I usually allow 1 potato per person.

Boil then simmer in salted (1 teaspoon) water until tender - about 20 minutes.

Mash, then add about 2 tablespoons butter for every 5 or 6 potatoes. Mash some more, then add a couple of dashes of Tabasco sauce, then start adding half & half.
Keep mashing and adding more until it reaches desired consistency. Taste for salt.

I don’t use a mixer for this. But you can, to save time.
