Good Old-Fashioned Mashed Potato

1. 1

   Peel and cut potatoes into approx equal size pieces.

2. 2

   Add potatoes to a saucepan of boiling water and boil until tender.

3. 3

   Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan.

4. 4

   Use a masher or ricer to mash the potatoes with. The longer you mash the smoother it will be (I just hate it when my mash has lumps!).

5. 5

   Add the butter and mash it into the potatoes until melted. Add the milk/cream and mash until a smooth consistency is achieved. Add more milk/cream if you would like a softer or sloppier mash.

6. 6

   Add salt and pepper to taste.

7. 7

   You can also mash in some softened onions, garlic or spring onions.

8. 8

   You can also use sweet potato (kumara) or any variety of potato to make mash with.
