My family loves mashed potatoes. The majority of the time, we don't even use gravy because the potatoes are so good by themselves. A bit of salt and pepper, maybe a bit of extra butter, that is all these need for great flavor.
The other bonus to these is the price. If I get a bag of potatoes for $0.99, I can make at least 5 batches of potatoes to go with dinner for my large family. That is a side dish for five, that costs me less than a quarter!
Mashed Potatoes for 5
4-5 medium potatoes (I usually use one potato per person eating)
3 cloves of garlic peeled
1/4 stick of butter
1/3 cup milk (approximately)
salt and pepper to taste
Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Put the chunks of potato and the garlic cloves into a sauce pan and just cover with water. Bring to a boil and set the timer for 10 minutes. Once the timer goes off, drain your potatoes and put them back into the pan. Add in the butter and milk. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher.
Salt and pepper to taste when served. We also like to add a little extra butter when the potatoes are served. You could also top with gravy if you like.
