Fluffy Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients
  • 8 large potatoes, peeled, and quartered
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • freshly cracked pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4-1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
  • 2 eggs
Directions
  1. In a large pan, boil potatoes with salt until tender, 15-20 minutes. 
  2. Drain water, and add remaining ingredients. 
  3. Mash until smooth, with a potato masher. 
  4. Do not whip continually with a beater, or they will get gooey, and starchy as the gluten breaks down.
Note: You can turn this recipe into garlic mashed potatoes, by adding 3 cloves roasted garlic when you mash. Or you can turn this recipe into garlic onion mashed potatoes, by adding sauteed onions, and roasted garlic to your taste, while mashing. [For another tasty dish, try adding shredded Cheddar cheese, and cooked broccoli pieces!]
