Wonderful Mashed Potatoes

I really do use The Sisters' Cafe as my cookbook these days. So when I was making dinner the other night, I jumped on to look up the recipe for my favorite mashed potatoes. I was in shock that it wasn't on here! I guess some of the basic, every day recipes don't always make it on because they just aren't glamorous enough. :) I had to get down my trusty homemade cookbook Melanie made me when I got married, which I still use almost as often as the blog. And this time? I made sure to take a picture of these delicious potatoes so I could share them with all of you. My husband and I love these with gravy, but I have to say that 75% of the time I don't get to the gravy and we eat them plain or with a little butter. They really are that good!
