thanksgiving mashed potatoes

Paula Deen's thanksgiving mashed potatoes.

Hello long time no speak it's Naomi starting a whole bunch of new recipes.This one to the right is inspired by Paula Deen. Here are all the ingredients:

• 5 lbs of potatoes
• 2 sticks of butter 
• 2 cups of half and half
• Salt and pepper to taste

First peel all of the potatoes.( I did it this time and it takes a very long time if your slow at peeling like me) Then cut then into quarters for the big ones make them the size of the medium sized ones. ( Get out the butter and melt it while your cutting the potatoes for 1 minute and 10 seconds, don't cut the bigger ones first and use a chef's knife) Then boil them until fork soft. Drain them, and put them back into the pot. Mash them again.( If you want to mash more quickly use a small metal masher) Get the butter and pour all of it in. Mash it even more.( Lots of mashing)

Then add as much half and half as you like, it depends on what

texture you like your mashed potatoes at i recommend using

almost all of it. Last but not least add salt and pepper until it

tastes right to you.
