Self-Mashed Yummy Potatoes

The Gun-Slingin' Super Chef made something wonderful tonight.

I would show you a picture, but . . . we ate it.  Plus, it just looked like a lump of potatoes.

Here's what he told me he did.  This is a recipe through the grapevine.

He took several smallish butter gold potatoes, peeled them and set them to boil in a pot of water.

He put a little Italian seasoning in the water, and when the potatoes were tender to the stabbing of a fork, he poured the water off.

Then he put the pot back on the stove (lowish heat, i'm assuming) and added a stick of butter (that's real butter, people, the kind that comes from a cow).  As the butter melted, the potatoes absorbed the butter and began to break down.  (P.S., this isn't diet food.)

Eventually, he add a large slosh of milk, garlic, and onion to taste (and probably some salt he didn't mention), and gave them a stir.

The looked and had the texture of slightly lumpy mashed potatoes, and OH THE FLAVOR.  No gravy with this stuff please.  These potatoes ARE the condiment.

Super yum!
