MAMA'S MASHED TATERS

Steps:

• 1. Put peeled, cubed potatoes into a medium size pot and cover with cold water. Bring the potatoes to boil over medium high heat and let cook about 30 minutes or until fork tender. Drain the potatoes, do not rinse. Put the stick of butter into the hot dry pot and dump the potatoes on top. Mash the potatoes and butter together with a hand masher just until broken up and the butter begins to melt into the potatoes. Add the whipping cream and beat with a electric mixer until there are no lumps and the potatoes are light and fluffy. Add or reduce the amount of whipping cream to make the potatoes the consistency that you like. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• 2. NOTE: I have used all different kinds of potatoes for this recipe and I have found that russet baking potatoes make the best mashed potatoes. Just a suggestion.

CANDI'S SMOKED MASHED TATERS

Steps:

• Peel, dice and boil potatoes. dice all veggies and saute in a bit of butter or oil until soft (regular old garlic works, I use my smoked or roasted garlic for this)
• add 1 stick of butter, veggies and potatoes and mash. Add milk (or cream) until you reach your desired consistency.
• Place in pan, add a few pads of butter, smoke for about 10-15 minutes, stir potatoes, smoke for another 10-15 minutes. Serve with or without gravy! (I didn't put a degree here because I keep these at the edge of the smoker, no direct heat, they are simply on the smoker to infuse the smoke flavor)
