Our friend Betty makes this with cream cheese but when we need to cut down on fat I use chicken stock or a little skim evaporated milk - the cream cheese is nicer of course. I used stock in the photo I posted.

Steps:
- Place potatoes in 2-quart saucepan; and enough water just to cover potatoes. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 20 to 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain. Shake pan with potatoes over low heat to dry (this will help mashed potatoes be fluffier).
- Mash potatoes in pan until no lumps remain. Add milk in small amounts, mashing after each addition (amount of milk needed to make potatoes smooth and fluffy depends on kind of potatoes used).
- Add butter, salt and pepper. Mash vigorously until potatoes are light and fluffy. If desired, sprinkle with small pieces of butter or sprinkle with paprika, chopped fresh parsley or chives.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use a starchy potato variety like Russet or King Edward. These potatoes will mash easily and give you a smooth and creamy texture.
- Cook the potatoes thoroughly: Before mashing the potatoes, make sure they are cooked through. You can do this by boiling, steaming, or baking them. If the potatoes are not cooked through, they will be hard and lumpy.
- Use a ricer or food mill: To get the smoothest and creamiest mash, use a ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes. This will help to remove any lumps and give you a light and fluffy texture.
- Add flavorings: Once the potatoes are mashed, you can add flavorings such as butter, milk, cream, salt, and pepper. You can also add other ingredients like herbs, spices, and cheese to create different flavor variations.
- Serve immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Mashed potatoes are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect mashed potatoes every time. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying side dish, give mashed potatoes a try!
