It's really not that hard to make mashed potato's, but you have to start with the right potato - AND NOT A STUPID BOX. Next time you are at the store pick up some Yukon Gold potato's in the vegetable section. Real, fresh potato's remember, not something in a box. Now, if you want "smashed" potato's, you can leave the skins on, but for true "mashed" potato's you have to peel them. I prefer "smashed" because it is just easier to do, just remember to wash the potato's before you cut them. Get a good, SHARP knife - not a steak knife please - and cut the potato's into small pieces, about 1/2 inch square if you can. Now for my secret, which has never been shared before. Place the cut potato's in a colander and rinse them under cold water. Then, move them to a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for an hour then drain and rinse them. Soak them again in cold water for another hour then drain and rinse again. You will notice the water is cloudy the first time you drain them, but should be more clear the second time. This soaking takes out a lot of the starch and allows you to whip them better. Now, place them in COLD water in a pan and sprinkle in a little salt (sea salt works best) and a couple tablespoons of butter. Cook them on high heat until the potato's start to fall apart when you stick them with a fork. Drain and rinse the potato's. Now the fun part - mashing. Add a couple tablespoons of butter and whole milk. 2% is OK but do NOT use 1% or skim and for god's sake don't use soy milk. Smash them with a fork then stir them with a whisk if you have one, or use a hand blender to whip them nice and smooth. If you like, you can stir in some Garlic Powder. It sounds like a lot of work, but trust me, you will get better mashed potato's then you have EVER had at a restaurant this way.

Yeah! KFC mashed potatoes is really good!
