*Mashed Potatoes:
1 pound yukon gold potatoes, (unpeeled is fine)
2 tablespoons of butter of your choice
Salt, to taste
2 cloves garlic, chopped (optional)
1. Cut potatoes into quarters and add to a pot. Cover the potatoes with several inches of water and add 1-2 tablespoons of salt. Bring to a boil.
2. Boil for 25-30 minutes until tender. Reserve 1 cup of cooking water and drain.
3. Over medium heat, melt butter. If you like garlic, add and cook 2-3 minutes.
4. Add butter and salt to potatoes. Mash until creamy, but still chunky, using water as needed. The chunkier consistency works well for our Mashed Potato Bites!
