Growing up in North Dakota, there was never a shortage of potatoes. They were a part of our “supper” four out of seven days of the week. I think that might be the reason why I only make mashed potatoes during Thanksgiving and Christmas. As promised, here is the last of the side dish recipes I make for our Thanksgiving feast.
-
Mashed Potatoes
- 5 lb. russet potatoes, peeled and cut. I cut them into smaller chunks so they boil faster.
- 2 tsp. salt, I add one more tsp. at the very end
- 8 Tbs. of unsalted Land o’ Lakes butter
- 1- 1/4 heated half and half.
- white pepper
Gently boil the potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well. Mash them and then add butter, salt and white pepper, mash again. Slowly add the heated half and half, mash until they are smooth and creamy.
I’m so thankful to all of you who visit The Life of the Party, it’s been an amazing year! I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
