Made these for the first time last night. Boy have I been missing out! The evaporated milk is the ticket! Sooo sooo creamy! Love it! And they’ll go great with that roast I’m making on Sunday for Father’s Day (thank you for that too). Followed by Butterfinger Cake, by special request from my husband! Yummy!

I am running to store now,this chicken looks so good and I am making the tators all for myself. Everyone in my family is out of town. As for the dirty kid thing. I fly in a tube all day with recycled air. Lord knows the germs I am exposed too. I do where rubber gloves when I pick up other people’s used plastic cups and trash. But..I do not go overboard on the antibacteria stuff. At home or at work, sometimes germs are good. I grew up aroung horses and dirt, I use to make mud pies. I think I even consumed a few. I am still alive and kicking.

I am so far behind in my comments etc, haha.. but yep this is just the way my mama made hers to,,,except we always use Milnot Evaporate Milk… you absolutely cannot cook without Milnot in the cabinet and you cannot make mashed potatoes without it… and Milnot can be whipped just like whipped cream in a pinch.. add some sugar and vanilla after its whipped up.and no one will ever know….. little known fact about nothing there for you..

YUM I want potatoes now.

Decided to do a nice Valentine’s dinner, so I made steaks and mushrooms and then these yummy potatoes, only I went a step further and made your mom’s decadent cheese topped mashed potatoes. Wow – so fabulous! I could have just eaten the potatoes. I used my pressure cooker, and they were so creamy and great. I love your recipe ideas and your clever words, Christy – I look forward to your new posts every morning!

Oh my goodness……..I made these potatoes along side of your Salisbury steaks for dinner last night. BOTH recipes are to die for! It was DH’s birthday so we had CocaCola Cake too! Now I am waiting for the recipe for that scrumptious looking chicken………then my heart will be happy. Nothin’says ‘Southern’ like crispy chicken. Love ALL your recipes Christy!

Mashed potatoes ARE the perfect comfort food. My husband makes the mashed potatoes at our house. The other night he added some chopped dill. Yum!

I found white pepper with the Mexican food stuff at one of my “local” Wal-Marts. And I actually think the grocery store in town sells it which shocks me to no end.

I have always been told to start potaotes in cold water. Is there a reason to start with boiling water besides making them cook faster? I never run water from the hot water faucet for cooking. I think it does not taste as clean.

I use the pouch instant potatoes. It saves time and is so incredibly good, we can hardly tell the difference. I had forgotten about using evaporated milk, however. Going to remember that the next batch.

ITA about the anti-bacterial fetishes, BUT, I keep a bottle of anti-bac gel in the car for use after shopping before I can get home. Grocery store cart handles—lots of germs!

I am laughing out loud here–I do the same thing with the brown sugar lumps. I must be awful too but I so love cooking and feeding people that I figure I am entitled to a little nibble now and then!! HAHA
