A wonderful, partially lumpy mashed potato dish with a creamy taste

ingredients

  • 3 lbs. Yukon Gold or White Potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3/4 stick margarine
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup Duke’s mayonnaise
  • salt and pepper to taste

directions

  • 1

    Boil the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot with water covering the potatoes. Bring to a boil, and turn heat down to medium. Cook until the tested potatoes are done. Drain well.

  • 2

    While the potatoes are still in the pot, use a potato masher to reduce the potatoes to the consistency you desire. I like to leave them a little lumpy.

  • 3

    Once you have the potatoes you want, add the remaining ingredients. Adjust ingredients if you want more or less.

  • 4

    Note to Recipe: Before adding the remaining ingredients, if you want the best of two worlds, mash the potatoes with lumps remaining, and then remove about 1/2 of the mixture and press through a potato sieve. You will have creamy and lumpy potatoes to suit everyone

notes

Lumpy, creamy potatoes cooked in the same pot used by my Granny Burr.
