mashed potatoes my way

What is that?

[Viking2002]

Nothing too far afield. I start with whole Russet potatoes and hand peel them (flashback to sitting behind the mess hall on KP duty). Cube and boil them. Then I use real butter and milk as needed as I mash them. The one thing I don't compromise on is to season them: I grind fresh peppercorns and sea salt into them as I mix them into oblivion. Not a lump to be found. If I'm feeling naughty, I may add a touch of fresh garlic juice. Whipped into a cream but stiff enough to stand a fork in. The way the good Lord intended them to be. They'll hold your gravy the entire meal.
