Mashed Potatoes

Mashed Potatoes

What would Thanksgiving be without mashed potatoes? Don't forget the gravy!

• 2 lbs white potatoes
• 3/4 cup milk (maybe less)
• 3/4 stick margarine
• Salt to taste

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut into quarters. Put the potatoes into a pot, cover with water and boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Add the butter and mash the potatoes well, using a potato masher. With a wire wisk or electric mixer, add the milk, a little at a time, until the potatoes are as soft as you like. 

Serves 6 to 8.
