Potatoes can be prepared many different ways, including being fried, boiled and baked. Mashed potatoes is one of the easiest ways to prepare potatoes. You can make mashed potatoes by peeling and boiling them until soft. Then drain the potatoes and mash with a little milk and butter until smooth.

Peel and cut into 1.5 inch pieces, boil until tender. Grind up with a mixer, add butter and milk, puree to desired consistency to make creamy mashed potatoes.

You can peel them and boil them, or leave the skin on and bake them in the oven, or you can fry them in a pan with the skin on or off in a bit of oil. You can also mash them after boiling them and add a little milk.

I like to boil potatoes, they are done when fork tender, drain all the water out. Place into a bowl, add some salt and pepper and drizzle with a good olive oil.
