Heavenly Mashed Potatoes

Most people like mashed potatoes, and I'm no exception. Here is my recipe for ”Heavenly Mashed Potatoes.” They really are divine! -)
Heavenly Mashed Potatoes

5-6 medium white potatoes

4 Tablespoons butter

1 can evaporated milk

salt and pepper to taste

Wash and peel the potatoes. Quarter the potatoes and place in a saucepan. Cover with water. Boil gently until a fork inserted in the potatoes goes in easily. Drain the potatoes and place in a mixing bowl. Add the butter and salt and papper. Add approximately 1/4 cup evaporated milk and mix using a potato masher. I previously used an electric hand mixer, but that sometimes made them gluey. So use a little arm strength to mash them. Mash vigorously with the potato masher to make them as fluffy as possible. You can add more or less evaporated milk - depending on the consistency you like best. Enjoy!
