Mashed Potatoes
Author: Kelly Donlea
To serve a crowd:
- 1 5-pound bag potatoes, peeled and halved
- 2 teaspoons vegetable broth powder (my favorite is Vegeta soup base) OR 2 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese (you can substitute sour cream if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Place potatoes in large pot. Cover with 1 teaspoon of broth powder or 1-1/4 cups vegetable broth. Add water to cover potatoes. Boil until fork-tender. remove from heat and drain most of water (leave about 3/4 cup at the bottom). Add remaining teaspoon of broth powder to water in pot (or drain fully and add remaining 3/4 cup broth). Add in remaining ingredients, and mash to desired consistency. Reserve, covered, in refrigerator. Warm before serving.
