Mashed Potatoes 'N Gravy

Mashed potatoes on the left!

Who doesn't love mashed potatoes and gravy? Soft and creamy goodness. Homemade is the best! And you know it really doesn't take much to make them.

I don't know, but when added to a meal, they just seem to make it feel special, you know?

And I love that. I love when I actually remember to go make dinner and have the time to peel 'em up and surprise my dinner guests! (minus 1, only person I know that won't eat them!)

I use at least one potatoe per person, about medium size, peel 'em up, cut into fourths. I cover them with milk to just barely and let simmer down...

simmering

When the liquid is almost gone and they get pretty mushy, I cover them in a ton of butter! At least a half cup, give or take.... And just whip 'em up in the pot! Salt and pepper to taste...

Don't forget the gravy!
I use some pan drippings ( About a quarter to half a cup...) to about a cup of water and stir in about a Tbsp of cornstarch mixed with a little bit of cold water.... stir in slowly until it boils and thickens....

*Warning: This meal does use a lot more dishes that I like washing... But it is One of the most yummy dinners I make!
