Yes! Carnation Evaporated Milk makes the very best tasting mashed potatoes! I learned this from my mother-in-law in the '70s as this is what she used to make hers, and they were the best I ever ate. The evaporated milk just gives a sweetness and great flavor that you can't get from regular milk or cream.Reply

This is the only way my mom makes mashed potatoes. She doesn't measure the evaporated milk. She starts mashing the potatoes, with the butter and salt/pepper and adds the milk gradually until the potatoes are the desired consistency. I made these last night to serve with the leftovers from your Crazy Chicken recipe and used about 3/4 cup of the milk. I used the really large baking potatoes though. Thanks for posting this.Reply
