    My recipe adds a bit more kick than "a pinch of salt." I like semi-spicy and flavorable mashed potatos; if you do too, read on: *Roast a whole garlic in the oven for 45 min *Prepare potatos as aforementioned, except leave the skins on. *Finely dice 1 serrano pepper; so fine that you cannot see it in the finished product, but taste it no doubt; Add it to the boiling water with the potatos. *When the potatos are done, mash them in a bowl with the roasted garlic (peeled of course!) *Add a little milk and butter for creaminess *Sprinkle a few dashes of Cayenne Pepper, continue to mash Walla! Delicious Garlic and spicy mashed potatos! ENJOY!

    When the potatoes are mashed and ready, mix in some chopped basil leaves, peppercorns, rosemary and bacon bits. Mix them in with any old wooden spoon.

    Try adding about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese! Add more or less to taste. This makes it mega smooth and creamy and the flavor is awesome!

    Up to four hours before the meal, you can mash potatoes and put them in a crock pot on LOW (1) with lid. They will stay warm and fluffy until ready to serve. Be sure to put a little water in the crock pot while mashing again.

    Adding carrots (cook with potatoes and carry them along) makes for a colorful and tasty treat.

    Instead of mixing in only 2 tbs. of unmelted butter, put in 6 tbs. for four medium potatoes. Add to the potatoes and mash in. The more butter the better!

    Fluff potatoes with an electric hand mixer instead of mashing them. Season with garlic pepper seasoning and add sour cream, shredded cheese, crumbled bacon and chives.
