Perhaps thats why all things that begin with the word "potato" sound so good to me! Can't wait to try all these delicious sounding recipes!!

Mash into potatoes with the cream and butter for the ultimate in smooth, rich, and delicious mashed potatoes.

Wonderful dish!!! Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:21:54 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-01/food/potatoes I love potatoes in any shape or form. Here is an add in to mashed that my family and I particularly like. When adding the cream and butter, as in the basic recipe above, add 2tbs butter milk powder.

Nice taste and makes is fluffer. Really enjoy your magazine. Of course I'm a Maine Yankee. Thanks for the ideas.

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Sun, 24 Feb 2008 13:33:47 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-01/food/potatoes My favorite potato fix is mashed garlic and plain yogurt. A few dashes of seasoned salt whipped in tops it off well, and there are fewer calories than all the butter and cream! Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Tue, 04 Mar 2008 19:23:41 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-01/food/potatoes I absolutely loved potatoes before I married an Irishman. My German mother-in-law introduced me to potatoes and rutabaga which was served with her German style pot roast (with cider vinegar). Both were cooked separately until fork tender then mashed together without adding any liquid - not even milk. Just lots of butter, salt and pepper. I learned to love turnips this way. And I make potato patties with leftover mashed potatoes. I fry them in bacon fat or butter until they are nicely browned on each side. Yep, high fat content.
