Mashed Potatoes

********************************************

Fresh potatoes that are boiled and mashed with a potato masher is nothing but mashed potatoes. Different ingredients or herbs can be added in making of this mushy mashed potatoes. Kids love it and it's pretty easy to make. Here, I'm showing the basic simple mashed potato without adding any herbs or other creamy ingredients. It's a little dry variation which is soft but coarse.



Ingredients
***************
Potatoes        9
Salt                  to taste
Pepper           to taste
Butter             2 tbsps.

Method
**********

• Peel the skin of potatoes and wash them in running water. 
• Add water covering up the potatoes and add salt.
• Boil the potatoes for 20 mins. covered, checking in between.
• Stir occasionally and once the potatoes are soft and tender, switch off the flame.
• Take the boiled potatoes into a serving bowl and mash well with a potato masher or a fork.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper powder as per taste. ( As we already added salt while boiling potatoes make sure at this stage it's not over salted.) 
• Add butter and mix well.
• Mashed Potato is ready to be served hot along with gravy.
