"Canned" Mashed Potatoes
Canned potatoes are a common low income / senior citizen commodity, and here is an easy way to make delicious mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 can canned potatoes, (15 oz / 425 g cans)
- butter, as desired
- milk, as desired
Instructions
- The key to using canned potatoes is to drain and rinse them. Open, drain, then rinse and drain the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a saucepan, add water to cover and place on high heat. I use sliced potatoes.
- When the water just starts to boil, remove from heat, and drain the water.
- Mash with a potato masher for a few seconds, I like mine chunky. Add a tablespoon or so of butter, or as desired, and a splash of milk, mash for a few more seconds to just mix the butter and milk into the potatoes.
- Place in a serving bowl, serve as a side with gravy of your choice, enjoy.
Notes
Low cost.
Variant: 1. Use whipping cream in place of milk.
