I know, I know, mashed potatoes needs it's own entry!? But as much as I LOVE this side dish, I realized that I didn't really know the proper way to prepare it, besides boiling and mashing. This website explains everything, from what kind of potato to use, to the correct order of adding butter and milk. There's a recipe on the site for 2 lbs of potatoes, but here's the basic recipe:
Starting with salted cold water, bring chunks of potatoes to a boil. Allow potatoes to simmer until done. Mash with salt and pepper. Add butter. Add milk.
If you need to reheat mashed potatoes, warm them on the stove with a little extra milk- don't microwave!
