Mashed Potatoes

Pot Roast without potatoes is like ice cream without nuts!  It just isn't right for me.  So along with the Sunday Pot Roast Dinner there had to be copious amounts of mashed potatoes.

I adapted this recipe from www.thepioneerwoman.com.

Mashed Potatoes

Serves 10-12

Ingredients:

7 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes

1 cup butter

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

Peel and cut potatoes into 2" pieces.  Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the potatoes.  Boil for 30-35 minutes until potatoes are cooked through and easily pierced with a fork.

Drain the potatoes into a colander reserving 1-2 cups of the cooking water.  Place the potatoes back into the pot.  Mash potatoes in pot on the stove over low heat.  If potatoes stick to the bottom of the pan add a small amount of the cooking water to the potatoes as you are mashing them.  

Turn off the stove and add butter, milk, seasoning salt, salt and pepper.  Mash away!

Serve alongside Sunday Pot Roast Dinner and The Easiest Biscuits Ever.
