Mashed Potatoes - Upon Request

5lb bag of Idaho Spuds
Whole milk
1/4 c. heavy cream (optional)
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Peel potatoes and chop into large pieces - I typically slice them into 1 inch rounds. Boil in covered pot until they are soft (30min?).

Drain and return to the warm pot. Using hand held blender add 2 tbsp butter, salt, garlic powder and 1/4c. milk while beating on medium speed. Continue to add milk until a fluffy texture is achieved. I have been known to add a portion of heavy cream as well.

Again - don't substitute "healthy" ingredients. Mashed potatoes are not healthy, nor are they intended to be!
