Mashed Potatoes!!!

I love potatoes, pretty much in any form. But one of my favorites mashed. There is something about mashed potatoes. They are perfect for any time: holidays, when you're sick, any day really. I never make them because I always thought it was hard to make them. Whenever my family made mashed potatoes it was for Thanksgiving. We have a big extended family so we would do 15-20 potatoes at a time. I was always in charge and it took forever! I just discovered that mashed potatoes really aren't that hard to make. I was so excited to discover this! I am going to make them all the time now. I found this great recipe online (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/traditional-mashed-potatoes/):

Ingredients:

6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup warm milk
1/4 cup butter or margarine
3/4 tsp. salt
Dash pepper

Directions:

1. Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Cover with lid and bring to a boil; cook for 20-25 minutes or until very tender. Drain well. Add milk, butter, salt and pepper. Mash until light and fluffy.
   

I like to mix it in my KitchenAid with the whisk attachment. This makes them extra fluffy, light and creamy. That's it and then top with your favorite gravy.
