You will need the following:
- Potatoes
- Potato Brush
- Sink
- Potable Water
- Knife
- Pot
- Cooktop
- Bowl
- Strainer
- Hand Masher
- Salt
- Butter
- Cream
Select (1) Medium Potato Per Person. My Favorite Are Butter Potatoes.
Peel Each Potato, Cutting Out the Bad Spots. an Example of a Bad Spot Is the Dented Area on the Bottom of the Potato on the Right in the Previous Picture.
Wash Peeled Potatoes With a Potato Brush, Re-checking for Blemishes.
Select a Pot Twice the Size of the Potatoes.
Dice Potatoes Into Similar-sized Pieces.
Put Diced Potatoes Into a Pot With Water So That the Water Is ½” Above the Potatoes.
Add Salt to the Water (1/2 Tsp Per Potato).
Turn Burner to Medium Heat.
Boil Potatoes Until They Are Fork Tender (approx. 5-8 Minutes).
Strain Potatoes and Place Into a Mixing Bowl.
Use Hand Masher to Mash (and Stir) Potatoes.
Add Butter (1 Tsp Per Potato) and Cream (1/2-1 Cup) in Small Increments to Desired Taste.
Stir Together and You're Finished!
