Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • idaho potatoes 5lb
  • butter
  • carnation milk
  • mixer
  • salt
  • large mixing bowl
  • sour cream(optional)
  1. Step 1

    First you will need cut and peel your potatoes. Make sure you clean then before adding then to your water. You can cut them in half since, as they will be mixed once they are softened.

  2. Step 2

    Second you will need to add the potatoes to the boiling water. They will need to boil for about 5 to 10 minutes. Once they are done you will need to drain them.

  3. Step 3

    Once they are drained, you will need a large mixing bowl. Add the potatoes, the carnation milk, butter (about two scoops), salt(for flavor), into the bowl.

  4. Step 4

    You will then have to mix all the ingredients on high for about 5 minutes. Make sure you focus on the lumps. Do not over mix. Once the potaotes are mashed and all the ingredients are mixed they are ready to eat.
