1) peel potatoes

2) cook them in salted water (enough to cover potatoes + abit more)for about 20 mins. counting from when water boils

3) test the potatoes to see if they are soft, test with a knife, if they are ready the knife will go through the potatoes ok.

4) when potatoes are done, put potatoes in a bowl, save water

5) then with a fork or potato masher, MASH potatoes with some of the boiled potato water, some warm milk and some butter or margarine. Not too much to start with. If you think the mashed potatoes are too dry carefully add more potato water or milk. The mixture shouldn't be too sloppy. The potatoes should be light and fluffy.

6) season to taste.

Mashed potatoes go with many dishes, fish or meat. Enjoy!
