Funny how much I cook and simple things for me can sometime be hard to do. Like mashed potatoes. Yeah, you can laugh LOL But now I have my way to do them and it's always a success. I cook 4 cups of diced potatoes with 2 cups of water, in the microwave at high for 14 minutes. Then I add the other ingredients. This recipe is from Rachael Ray.
