Made these for Thanksgiving and a couple of times since. Very easy, good, basic mashed potatoes. Tried the mixer method which worked well, but I do prefer a ricer. No lumps and no danger of overmixing. Used leftovers from one batch in a shepherd's pie and from another in Amish Potato Rolls. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

    The proportions were perfect. I did not have canned milk so I used regular milk and I did not need to use the potato water. Everyone gobbled these up! Thanks Dienia ZWT3

    Very very nice mashed potatoes Dienia B. Usually I cook mine with milk, but instead as per the recipe used canned (Carnation light milk) and this recipe tasted great, still creamy and not lumpy at all. Think in future I might used the canned light milk, the reduced fat in that makes up for the butter !!!!!!!!! And as for the leftovers (although not much was left) I will using again tonight with meatloaf!! Thanks for a great recipe!!
