Instructions
  1. Peel and rinse potatoes. Cut evenly in quarters and add to large stock pot. Fill with cold water to cover, add 1/2 tsp salt, and place on stove. Cook on high heat until boiling.
  2. Boil potatoes for 15-20 minutes until tender when pierced. Drain in colander.
  3. In microwave save bowl, melt butter and 1/2 & 1/2.
  4. Place cooked, drained potatoes in large mixing bowl. I use Mr. Mixer! Add melted butter and 1/2 & 1/2. Mash and mix with beater, but don't overmix or your potatoes will become ooey gluey. Season with salt and peppers. Add 1/2 & 1/2 as needed. Serve hot.
Recipe Notes

I served this as a side for our Southern Christmas Dinner. Crowd-pleasin'. Can make ahead and reheat (in microwave - covered, in oven - covered, or in crock-pot on low for a couple of hours; stir before serving). You can even freeze your potatoes to thaw and reheat later.
