My MIL makes the best mashed potatoes and I got this recipe from her.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
• 5 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1/2 cup half-and-half or 1/2 cup light cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• pepper

Directions:

1. Add broth and potatoes to a large pot; bring to a boil.
2. Cover and reduce heat to medium; cook for 10 minutes or so, until the potatoes are tender.
3. Drain, saving the broth.
4. Mash the potatoes and add 1/4 cup broth, half-and-half, butter and pepper.
5. Add more broth if needed until you get the desired consistency.
6. Note: After I mash the potatoes, I use the electric mixer to get them smooth.

These mashed potatoes are so yummy. And have a great texture. The taste is great with the chicken broth, cream and butter. Thanks ratherbeswimmin :) Made for All you can cook buffet

These definitely are creamy! Cooking with chicken broth adds so much flavor. I used white pepper.

These were good mashed po's - I have a habit of making very bland, boring mashed potatoes that no one likes very much, and these were much better! Next time I'll add some salt and perhaps garlic. Yum!
