Mashed Potatoes

What you will need:
8 Potatoes peeled and diced
1/2 stick of butter
Milk
Salt and Pepper to taste

In a large pot of water boil potatoes until soft. Strain potatoes and put in a large bowl. Using a masher or a fork crush potatoes. Add butter and mix using a hand mixer. Pour in milk 1/4 cup at a time until potatoes are smooth. Be careful not to add too much milk or they will become runny. If this happens, boil another potato and add it to the mixture.

To reduce the fat in this use chicken broth or skim milk (in place of milk) and omit the butter. Just remember that chicken broth can be high in sodium so you may want to eliminate any salt.

For a fun variation add roasted garlic.
