Ingredients
 
 

Mashed Potatoes

  • 3 lbs potatoes peeled
  • splash of milk
  • 8 tbsp butter one whole stick
  • Salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Gravy (Optional)

  • 1 lb ground hamburger
  • 3 tbsp beef bouillon
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 4 cups water

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain the potatoes.
  • With mixer set on a low speed (or using a hand masher), combine the potatoes with all the remaining ingredients until smooth. This should just take a couple minutes.
  • Enjoy! (Top with gravy, if desired.)

For Optional Gravy

  • Brown hamburger, drain, and return to burner. Over medium heat, add butter and bouillon.
  • When the butter has melted, add flour and mix until blended. Slowly add water while stirring.
  • Cook for a few more minutes, adding more water to reduce thickness as desired.
