I gave this 4 stars. This is exactly how I make my mashed potatoes. Nothing fancy just good food. Nice idea about the calorie count! Thanks for posting a great recipe. Christine (internetnut)

LOVED IT! The only change I made was to add the salt to the water rather than at the end. Perfect amounts on the milk, butter and seasonings and perfect texture. Thank you for a keeper Shapeweaver! Made for Comfort Foods tag in the Photo forum, please see my rating system.

This is the way I make my mashed potatoes, too. I do start with cold water to cover the potatoes so they cook evenly, not on just the outside first. when finished cooking, I put the potatoes through the potato ricer to eliminate lumps, then whip them with the old potato masher. I always heat my milk in the microwave for 60 seconds. I think it would be foolish to put cold milk into hot potatoes, if I wanted this side dish to remain warm for serving.

This is how I've always made mashed potatoes except I mashed them. This method is easier and makes them very creamy and no lumps. Thanks, shapeweaver, it doesn't get any easier than this.
