Creamy Mashed Potatoes – Microwaved

Scrub potato, dry with a paper towel and prick several times with a fork. Wrap potato back in the same paper towel that you used to dry it with and place in the microwave. Cook potato on high heat for about 2 minutes and then flip the potato and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Cook potato until softened.

Let potato cool, until it’s cool enough to handle. Carefully peel the skin away or cut down the center and scoop flesh out with a spoon. You can keep the skin on it you prefer.

Place the potato in a bowl, and with a hand mixer beat the potato to break it up. Add milk, butter and seasoning and beat until creamy. You may need to add more milk to get the consistency you want.
