Instructions:

  1. Wash and peel potatoes. Roughly chop them, and put into pot.
  2. Fill 2 qt pot 3/4 full of water and add 1 tsp sea salt.
  3. Cover and bring to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, turn down heat to a simmer for approximately ~ 10 min.
  5. Take off heat and drain water.
  6. Mash potatoes to consistency you desire.
  7. Add cream and butter, and ensure it is evenly distributed.
  8. Salt & Pepper to taste.

Mom’s mashed potatoes are great…She doesn’t whip them or mash them until completely smooth…There are some chunks left on purpose…

Like I said earlier, they are awesome for making potato cakes in the morning for breakfast! Yum!

  2. I always take half of the batch and add a roasted garlic clove (mom doesn’t enjoy garlic in her holiday taters)…

    I absolutely love it!

    Merry Christmas ’09!
