* After you mash the potatoes to your liking, Add about 1/2 of a cup of cooked mixed veggies (any frozen carrot and pea blend )

* Grated cheese on top of any mashed potatoe recipe is fantastic. I love Cheddar!

* Salt and pepper, always!

* If using red potatoes, don't peeI the skins off before boiling. Just mash 'em.

* Yukon Gold potatoes are creamy delicious When mashed !

* You could add bacon bits ontop of mashed upotatoes witha dollup of sour cream.

* If you like ranch dressing, top it over any chosen mashed potato recipe.

* When I am feeling lazy, I microwave a whole potato and place it in a shallow bowl and cut it up. Then, add salt, pepper and milk. Fork it a bit and its ready to eat --- skin and all! Half baked and half mashed!

* Make Sheppard's pie. Sautee ground beef with onions and flavor with garlic, salt and pepper and one of these: Worcestershire Sauce or Soy Sauce or A-1 Sleak Sauce. make mashed potatoes anyway you like. And, you will need a can of corn. In a caserole dish layer the bottom w/ mashed potatoes, then a layer of beef, then a layer of corn. Repeat layers until the ingredients are used up. Comfort food to the max!
