Excellent and easy. You can add extra seasoning if you wish, but they are great just like it is. Made these a day ahead & popped them in the oven. Using a masher keeps a nice texture on the potatoes.

Save the potato water!!! Use it to make your gravies, either brown or white (milk). The starch in the water helps thicken the gravy. If making milk gravy, pour the potato water into a measuring cup then add milk to make 2-3 cups of liquid. Then if the milk gravy is too thick, just add more milk until it gets to the consistency that you like. The same goes for beef, pork, chicken, turkey, any kind of gravy. Just use the potato water first, then use regular water or wine, if you prefer, to thin if needed. I learned this from my grandmother who was a hard working, waste not, want not kind of woman. Same goes for pasta water. Use it to thin sauces (Marinara, spaghetti, alfredo, cheese sauce for mac & cheese and so on).

if you make this with pork or a beef add some horseradish sauce to it and it give it a kick and a great flavor

To die for!!! Made these at Christmas to go along my Prime Rib. I used yellow Yukon potatoes. There were 5 of us at dinner and the entire thing of potatoes were gone! This is definitely a keeper!!

Good, not great. I found the butter on the top to be excessive and almost made them runny with butter.

These are the best mashed potatoes when I need to impress dinner guests. Little do they know that they’ll need to jog around the neighborhood twice to work of all of the buttery deliciousness!

YUMMY!! I had to keep the cream cheese a secret. My girls wouldn’t have touched them. Tried with margarine just to see how it was…mistake. They went from fluffy to runny.

Great traditional recipe. add what you like to spruce it up, but this is a great starting point. Froze some in individual sized servings, reheats well too.
