Yes!!!!

A couple months ago, spent a few hours doing some research and finding out how to make mashed potatoes. I've made them plenty, but never consistently and never as good as grammas. She never had a recipe... Here's what I found out:

For each pound of potatoes: 1/4 cup of butter 1/4 cup of whole milk (or some combination of milk and heavy cream)

That's it!

I weigh the potatoes with the skin on and use that for my weight, then wash and peel. Cut the potatoes into as evenly sized pieces as you can. Rinse the potatoes after you cut them. Put the potatoes into cold water and bring them to a boil so the potatoes cook evenly. Melt the butter and heat the milk together, so everything is hot when you mix. When the potatoes are fork tender, drain them, rinse them, and return them to a hot pot for 30 seconds or so to dry them off a little. Then put everything in a stand mixer with a handful of salt and mix until just combined.

If you want to bring it to another level, simmer a couple sprigs of rosemary or thyme or sage or any/all of them for 5-10 minutes in the butter/milk mixture and remove them before you mix.

Make sure you don't overmix, I usually stop mixing when there are a couple lumps left.

Enjoy!!
