Answer 2

Always rinse your potatoes before you peel them. Make sure that you get all the skin off and the dark spots. Cut them up into bite size pieces and make sure the pan you are using is big enough to hold them. Depending on how many people you are going to feed is how many potatoes to use. Usually one potatoe per person. Put a little salt on them and then add the water. After they start to boil check on them and stir them once in a while and when a fork can easily go through them they are done. Drain all the water off them and then put them back into the pan. Add butter (the amount is up to you) and mash them really good, then take a hand beater and whip them good until there are no lumps left. You can use canned milk( it tastes better if you do). With the milk add it until the potatoes are as stiff or fluffy as you like. It is pretty easy to do.

Answer 3

2 pounds of Russet, Yukon Gold, or long brown potatoes (personally I love the Yukon Gold)
1 tablespoon of salt, plus more to taste
1 cup of milk or cream
4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
What you do:

Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-2 inch cubes. Place in a medium pot and cover with cold water; add 1 tablespoon of salt.
Place over a low heat and let simmer until fork tender. Drain potatoes using a colander. Put potatoes into a bowl. Using an hand held electric beater mix potatoes on medium high speed until most of the lumps have disappeared; about 1 minute. Add butter; mix until blended. On low speed add hot milk in a slow and steady stream; then add pepper, nutmeg, and salt to taste. Mix to combine.

Answer 4

Girl this is an easy one...
Cut the potatoes in to small pieces, like alphabet block size. put them in water for about 20 min or so..or until you can pick up with a fork.
Strain out the water and put in mixing bowl. Add about half cup of milk and or sour cream.Depending on the amount of potatoes you are using. This is all up to you but to flavor them now is highly suggested. You can add dill or garlic or any kind of flavor. Mix with a mixer or a smasher..until desired consistency. But you don't want them too liquid, they should be like thick oatmeal.
Good luck...practice makes perfect.

Answer 5

Sure......evaporated milk with equal parts water makes whole milk.
Use at least one stick of margerine or butter.
Don't forget salt & pepper.
Whip with a hand mixer for "creamed potatoes"
Red potatoes are great mashed & you can leave the skin on.

enjoy

Answer 6

Do you mean mashed?
Boil 6-8 peeled potatoes (cut in half or quarters)in water with a bit of salt. Mash with margarine or butter(1/4 cup). Add 1/4 cup milk and continue to mash. Not too much milk or else they will be cold and taste nothing! Add salt and pepper to taste.

Answer 7

Boil your potatoes.
Mash with chicken, vegetable, or beef stock to moisten.
Add a lot of garlic!
If you have a bit of sharp cheddar cheese, grate that in as well!
Salt and pepper should be added by the diners.
