How to Make Southern Mashed Potatoes
- Peel and chop 2 pounds of russet potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with 4 quarts of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
- Return the potatoes to the pot and add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of margarine, 1/2 cup of Miracle Whip, and 1/2 cup of milk.
- Using a potato masher or electric mixer on low speed, mash until smooth and creamy. Add more milk, if needed, to reach desired consistency.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
