Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

these here are good but if you use ranch dukes mayo salt pepper and a little butter they are awesome.

I use this recipe except I leave out the sour cream. A recipe with the basics that is like my mommas except she would use Pet milk which made them creamier. Someone from our church brought made mashed potatoes made with chicken broth instead of cream/milk and they tasted wonderful. I couldn't believe it myself. Does anyone know or have a recipe for mashed potatoes using chicken broth. If you do please let me know. Thanks. :-))

You just need to cook the taters in chicken broth instead of water :)

When draining the potatoes after cooking, save the broth and use it instead of milk or cream when whipping up the spuds

so many good receipes-i would have to start my life over in order to try them all.

What i put in my mashed potatoes is some celery salt,and all my kids love the taste,and everyone that eats them.plus i do add salt if needed,pepper,milk,butter.

i usually add cream cheese (softened) to these also and garlic salt to tase instead of salt which changes the texture and the taste.

You can cook these up the day before & put in a crock pot the next day & heat up, they fluff up great, saves alot of last minute work.

This is my favorite way to have mashed potatoes

i also add a pkg dry Ranch dressing dissolved in sm amount of potato water
