Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

A little calorie overload from one of the family's favorite comfort foods. =D







Mashed Potato
Ingredients:
6 potatoes
water
half cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
salt/pepper

How to:

Peel, wash and cut the potatoes. Put them in a small pot with just enough water to cover them. Boil until tender, around 20 minutes or so. Drain the water off the pot.

Lower the heat and put back the pot, add milk and butter while mashing the potato. Use a potato masher or fork (don't put them in a blender). Mash until free of lumps, afterwards put them in a bowl and whip with a fork, season with salt and pepper. Serve.
