Winters Day Mashed Potatoes

Now that it is snowy and cold, there is nothing nicer than coming home from school to a hot bowl of something good to eat. My son loves mashed potatoes so I made these for him. Believe me, this is also wonderful infant and toddler food – I stirred in some boiled mixed vegetables and watched my little girl eat a huge amount of her own and still want more from her brother!
