These mashed potatoes were a big hit here! We had roast beef, your mashers, and candied carrots with peas! It was a feast and this recipe looked wonderful on the plate! Not the ususual yummy but bland looking mashers!!! Great recipe and thank you! Made this for PAC Spring 09

Delicious...I've never added mayonnaise to a mashed potato dish before--good idea. Although I try not to alter original recipes, I couldn't help replacing the 1 tsp. salt with 1 tsp. of onion salt. Gave it just a little more oniony flavor. Thanks, Helenic Hottie!
