x-mas dinner ....tators

Ok , I think mashed potatoes is comfort food. Try this new way of fixing the mashed potatoes this year. when you are boiling the potatoes, put them in chicken broth instead of just water, or put 1 can of chicken broth and water to cover the potatoes in the pan. You can even add a few cloves of garlic to them.


Just a simple way of making mashed potatoes.....please don`t forget the gravy....any kind will do.

Turkey dinner...mashed potatoes and gravy

Thanksgiving dinner isn`t dinner unless mashed potatoes are on the menu. Of course, I consider mashed potatoes a comfort food, I guess just a country girl here.
Ok on to the recipe;

peeling and cut up about 6-8 potaotes, I usually use white potatoes
Water to cover them
dash of salt

Boil potatoes until tender, then mash ,I usually use an electric mixer for this, add butter, salt and milk to taste. I start off by using about half a couple of tablespoons of margarine and about little of milk and I adjust to taste and how creamy I like my potatoes.

What is mashed potatoes without gravy, in which I have had , but I prefer to have gravy with them. I usually use the package of brown gravy or turkey gravy and follow the package directions, of course you can add broth from the boiled turkey neck, along with the some bits of turkey from neck ,instead of the water. You can make the gravy by boiling the neck to make a broth and then drain . Then take the broth and add a little flour to make a gravy with then proceed until gravy is the consistency you like and heat to warm thruout.
