Dolly's Holiday Creamed Potatoes

Holiday Creamed Potatoes

8 large potatoes of your choice peeled and quartered
(I use the huge baking potatoes from Sam's Wholesale cut into large chunks)

½ stick butter

1 small carton heavy whipping cream (use only as much as you need of this)

Salt and Pepper to taste

 Served in my first formal china Noritake: Monteleone

Instructions

Boil potatoes until fork tender

Mash with potato masher

Add butter while potatoes are still warm

Add whipping cream a little at a time to the potatoes

mixing with electric mixer

Use only enough to get the consistency you like

Whipping with mixer a little at the end whips the cream for fluffy tasty potatoes every time.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

A Lighter Version of Mashed Potatoes

 

Instead of 1/2 stick butter use 2 tablespoons butter or none at all if you boil potatoes in chicken broth.
Instead of heavy whipping cream use 2 percent milk
It is a lighter version and yet still delicious
salt and pepper to taste.
