Marvelous Mashed Potatoes

Submitted by HomeMadeGirl

"These mashed potatoes came from a variation on my uncles twice baked potatoes, everyone just ate the insides and left the shells! So I decided to just make them into mashed potatoes. This recipe can use any kind of potato, and cooking times will vary for different types."
