Mashed Potatoes
SUBMITTED by Granny, Logan County
“Nothing like home-made mashed potatoes for the holidays.”
1 1/2 pounds yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
length-wise
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon milk (or more if necessary)
Salt and Pepper
In saucepan, put potatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add water until
potatoes are covered. On stove, bring to boil. Reduce heat and
simmer, covered, 15-20 minutes, or until done. (to test - a fork
can easily be poked through them) When potatoes are about
finished cooking, warm cream and butter in small saucepan. (can
use mircrowave to heat) Drain water from potatoes. Put hot
potatoes into a bowl. Add cream and melted butter. Use potato
masher to mash potatoes until well mashed. Continue stirring
with a strong spoon to achieve the consistency you desire. (Do
not over-beat) Salt and pepper to taste. Add additional milk if
necessary.
Note: Sometimes I don’t peel the potatoes.
