Answer 1

i tink the best way is to after peeling them cut your spuds in to quaters in pot of cold salted water on the highest heat wait till the water boils then turn the heat down and leave while waiting for the center of the spuds to cook put a small pot with a good bit of butter milk and cream (cream optinal) on a medium heat after the spuds are cooked and ready to drain take ur butter milk off the heat drain spuds MASH them very well add a nice amount of salt then ur butter milk mix very well and if need herbs are very nice in it too

Answer 2

2-6 Pounds of russet potatoes.

1/2 cup of 2% milk

1/4 cup of chopped green onions or scallions

some butter

salt and pepper to taste.

Boil the potato, then poke it with a fork to see if it opens easily, if its kind of hard, its not done boiling. Then add the milk and butter. Get a potato masher (kind of hard to find in America. Get one from Ireland!) and mash that suckah! Add more butter, salt and pepper if you like. Add the onions.

Note: Keep the skin!!!

Addities:

Minced garlic

Sour cream

Answer 3

Boil/steam/bake potatoes until tender, then mash 'em. Many people like to add butter and milk and maybe salt or broth for flavor. I like garlic! Some people insist on peeling them before mashing them.

First peel the potatoes and cut them in half. Place them in cold water with a sprinkle of salt and bring to the boil checking after about half an hour with a fork to see if they are cooked thoroughly (very important) Drain well and allow them to evaporate for a few minutes. Then mash thoroughly before adding a little milk or cream depending on number of potatoes used and according to taste. Add ground pepper and a sprinkle of nutmeg again according to taste. If preferred a small amount of finely grated cheese can be added at this stage but don't over do it! Mash again thoroughly for perfect mashed potato and serve
