Perfect Mashed Potatoes - my moms recipe

This recipe has been passed down for generations. It is the only way I make mashed potatoes and the only way my kids will eat them. Let's start getting ready for Thanksgiving 🍗

Enjoy.

Ingredients:

  • 5lbs golden yellow potatoes
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 5 tbs butter
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegeta 
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsps sour cream

Directions:

Bring a pot of water to a boil.

Peel and cube the potatoes.

Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes; drain.

Return to pot and add butter [it will melt from the hot potatoes and pot], sour cream, milk, vegeta or salt and pepper to taste.

Using a masher, mix until smooth and creamy. Serve with chicken, beef, fish or on its own. If you like it more rustic, you can leave the skin on.

Bon appetite.

    1. I would love to see more family recipes. I absolutely love tried and true family recipes ( for Ben to make of course 😜)

      1. It links to a product spelled V-E-Geta. The blog post has it spelled V-A-Geta all through it. So unless there's another product out there spelled the vag way, then it doesn't appear to be spelled correctly unless you're seeing something I'm not. I'm intrigued, lol
