I remember the first time I made mashed potatoes over here and the 9 year old was not shy about telling me that it was too lumpy and not good :) .... Well after that I got a lesson on how to make good mashed potatoes and that was that... Now I make them pretty much every day :)
The 4 year old (Charlie) loves mashed potatoes! If he is acting "crazy" or being ornery, give him some mashed potatoes and it is like he is a different person.
For the 9 year old, they have to be REALLY mashed... no lumps at all! :) Very specific.
We eat mashed potatoes almost every day... they are really good... we just eat a lot.... but that is normal for an Irish family.
How I make mashed potatoes:
1. Peel the potatoes and place them in a pot. Fill with water.
2. Cover and heat on the stove top until it boils.
3. Move the pot to a lower burner and let it cook until the potatoes are really soft.
4. Add butter and milk (as much as needed); mash A LOT.
There you go... there are your mashed potatoes. :)
The beautiful (and delicious) finished product!
