These southern mashed potatoes are made the way they should be - with lots of lots and butter! Top them with the simple hamburger gravy for a complete meal that the whole family will love.
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.
