Mashed Potatoes

Who doesn't like mashed potatoes?  They are very easy to make and don't take any more time than most other side dishes. You can change the flavors by using different kinds of potatoes.  I prefer red potatoes but you could use russet, red, or white.

Ingredients

4 medium Red potatoes peeled and quartered
3 Tb butter
1/4 cup to 1/2 cup milk or half and half (best not to use non fat milk)
1/2 tsp salt         
1 tsp pepper

Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and transfer back into the pot.  Add butter, 1/4 cup milk salt and pepper. With electric mixer or potato mix together adding more milk as needed until mixture is  smooth or desired texture.  Add more salt and pepper to taste if needed.
