My Mashed Taters

This is the way that I’ve always made my potatoes and I needed a calorie count. Posted on November 2, 2005.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 5  medium white potatoes, peeled, diced and washed
• 1 -1 1⁄2 cup water
• 1⁄4 cup 2% low-fat milk
• 4  tablespoons margarine
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper (to taste)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  regular table salt (to taste)

Directions

1. In a medium sized saucepan add potatoes and enough water to cover potatoes.
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for about 20 minutes.
3. Drain and return to saucepan.
4. With electric mixer, mix until "mealy looking" (slightly dry looking).
5. Add 1/4 cup milk and mix until creamy. At this point add extra milk for a creamier texture.
6. Add margarine, salt and pepper; mix well.
