Delicious! This is how I make my mashed potatoes, except I use butter instead of margarine.

    Very good and easy recipe! I was looking for a recipe which didn't use sour cream (as I didn't have any at home). Thanks!

    Each and every time I make mashed potatoes I wing/guess the butter and milk. More often than not, I use too much milk and they are a bit wet. Thank you for posting your recipe as this is the first time I've made great mashed potatoes! Better yet I'll be able to do it time and time again (always a surprise in the past) for which my family is very grateful.

    Thank You so very much. This is a must for me. I have made so many mashed potatoes that have been to dry or watery. You have done a good job at posting this. Thank You
