potatoes, as many as you need (I usually do 1 per person)
water
1. Peel and wash potatoes. Cut them in chunks.
2. Put potatoes in pot and cover with water.
3. Bring to a boil. Boil for a couple of minutes. Cover tightly and turn off burner. Don't remove pan from burner and don't lift the lid.
4. When you get home from church, work or whatever (2 or more hours later) turn burner back on just to warm the potatoes. Drain water.
5. Mash potatoes as you normally do with milk, sour cream etc.
Note: It is very important that you don't lift the lid until you are ready to mash the potatoes. You don't want any of the heat to leave the pan so the potatoes can continue to cook when burner is still warm but off.
Yesterday I started these after the kids got home from school, then ran kids around to ball practices for a couple of hours, came home and mashed them up! This is the best cooking tip I've heard in a long time! Love it!
