Cooking Instructions

Boil salted water to rolling boil, add quartered potatoes
- 2
Boil potatoes until fork tender, about 20-30 minutes. Drain.
- 3
Place 1 stick butter in large bowl, pour hot drained potatoes on top. mix well.
- 4
Add next stick of butter on top of hot potatoes & mash with metal masher until good & squishy
- 5
Add a splash of cream and mix with electric beater until lumps are gone & it has a silky, creamy consistency. keep adding small amounts of the cream until desired consistency is reached, but if it seems too thick switch to milk
- 6
Do not beat longer than necessary or you risk getting stiff potatoes
- 7
Add salt to taste and if you are a bunch of piggies like my family, more butter!
- 8
It is imperative you use the yukon gold potatoes...they are more expensive but render a far creamier, tastier result than other kinds
