Traditional Homestyle Mashed Potatoes
“I always enjoyed but had never made mashed potatoes. And when I went looking for a recipe… no luck. I found many fancy versions and several recipes that called for using mashed potatoes, but nothing that was just the traditional mashed potatoes. Fortunately, there was one granny-style that at least pointed me in the right direction. And using hers and the common ingredients from the fancy recipes, I was able to come up with this recipe that works quite well! If you like classic dishes but weren’t taught them by a family member, this might fill the same hole for you that it did for me.” – Kat
