My Momma's Mashed Potatoes
~10 regular sized potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1 stick margarine
1/2 can evaporated milk
Salt
1 tablespoon salt
Place the potatoes in a pot. Add water to just cover the potatoes. Add
salt to the water and boil the potatoes. The potatoes will be ready when
you insert a fork in them and they break easily apart.
When the potatoes are ready, drain the water from the pot and put the
margarine on top of the potatoes. It will begin to melt. With the milk
on hand, take a handheld blender and begin to mash the potatoes. Gradually
pour the milk in while you blend, but do not pour it all at one time.
You may want to take breaks of pouring the milk so you can make sure the
potatoes will come out smooth and delicious.
Once finished, you can add salt to taste. Mmmmm Good!
Some chef's tip: potatoes are more likely to get smooth if you mash them
while they are hot.
