TRADITIONAL MASHED POTATOES

We hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving. This year we decided to make a side dish to bring to thanksgiving dinner. The dish we decided on was traditional mashed potatoes, because they are everyone’s favorite and easy to make. Instead of following a recipe we decided to make them on our own. Both of our families have showed us how to make mashed potatoes before so we just tried on our own but with supervision, peeking behind our shoulders every once in a while. The recipe was quite simple.

Ingredients used:

·         1 bag of potatoes

·         2 sticks of butter

·         1 cup of milk

·         Salt

·         Pepper


Directions:

1.       Peel all the potatoes in the bag. Dice the potatoes into medium sized cubes.

2.       Put the potatoes in a pot filled with water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil.

3.       Cook the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender.

4.       Drain the potatoes. Add all ingredients.

5.       Use a hand – held mixer to blend your ingredients and potatoes till they are light and fluffy.

6.       Add salt and pepper to your liking.

Mashed potatoes are one of our favorite thanksgiving side dish. Everyone at our thanksgiving loved our mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were our biggest success so far. We will be using this recipe for further cooking. Enjoy!
