Mashed Potatoes
“Never insult the potatoes with cold milk,” Anne Busche
I 5 pound bag of Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered. Same size pieces is best. Cover in iced salt water for at least 20 minutes. Drain and use fresh water to cook. Cook until tender, a fork or knife goes in easy.
1/2 a stick, or more of softened butter
1 1/2 cups of milk (warmed, so as not to insult the potatoes)
Garlic powder (just a bit)
Salt & Pepper
Cut butter into the hot potatoes after you drain them. Mash until there are no large pieces, then slowly mash in adding WARM milk. Sprinkle a little garlic powder, and salt and pepper towards the end of the milk adding process. If you need more milk, you have to heat it up. I’m not kidding. No cold milk. Mash until you are satisfied with the consistency of your taters, precious. They can go in the oven with a pat of butter on top. Can’t hurt.
