Mashed Potatoes

Don't be afraid of the butter or heavy cream for this recipe.  That's what makes it taste so good!

Ingredients
3 medium to large Idaho potatoes, washed, peeled and cut into 1" pieces
4 tbls butter
1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
Salt to taste

Directions
  1. Boil potatoes for about 15 minutes.  Test doneness with a fork.  The fork should easily slide through.
  2. Drain potatoes.
  3. In a big bowl add potatoes, butter, and heavy cream.  Beat with a mixer until smooth and creamy.  Because all potatoes are not of equal size you may need to add more butter or heavy cream/milk.
  4. Add salt to taste.
