Welcome to Recipe Wednesday!
Today I’m going to share a very simple recipe that helped me snag my man 
You know how they say, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Well its very true. My husband never had homemade mashed potatoes so the first meal I cooked for him (and his favorite till this day) was Fried Chicken (Southern of course:) ), mashed potatoes, and sweet corn. Hubby loves homemade mashed potatoes. My brother in laws also request mashed potatoes when they come over. They joke around and tell me that they’re not use to Soul Food (because my husband is Haitian, Sake pase? To all my Haitian readers) and it makes them sleepy because the food is so heavy. Anyone who knows me knows I like to feed folk…heehee. Enough said here is my infamous mashed potato recipe.
2 lbs of potatoes (about 6 medium)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more for cooking the potatoes
4 to 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 to 1 cup organic whole milk
Freshly ground black pepper
1. Peel and Wash Potatoes. Cut in chunks
2. Bring water to boil
3. Add Potatoes cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 40 to 45 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander in the sink.
4. Put potatoes back in pot and add warm milk (usually put milk in a mug and warm in microwave for 40 seconds.
5. Mash with masher or whip with electric mixer (I use the mixer). Add salt, pepper, butter (to Taste)
Serve immediately.
This recipe serves about 4 people.
