Mashed Potatoes
What you need
- 4 potatoes
- butter
- milk
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Boil peeled, chunked potatoes twenty minutes until they fall off a knife. Drain well, let the steam escape, then mash with warm milk and plenty of butter.
How it feels to make
Mashing is the best job in the kitchen and everyone knows it, so you have to claim it early.
Mom wrote on the back
Warm the milk first. Cold milk makes cold, gluey mash.
