Good Ol' Mashed Potatoes

i bet these would go great with Kris' meatloaf...i might just have to try that.

peel and cut up enough potatoes for your brood. a good rule of thumb is one or two for every eater and one for the pot

boil in salted water until they are "fork tender" meaning a fork easily slides into them but they don't fall apart.

drain potatoes and in a big bowl or even the pan you boiled them in, mix potatoes, milk, butter, and black pepper. i never measure when i am making this so i haven't the foggiest idea how much...just make it moist. add a little at a time until they are as wet as you like them.

use a hand mixer to mash them all up...or go old fashioned and get out granny's masher.

i added shredded cheddar this time and it's yummy.
