Recipe
Yummy Mashed Potatoes
Serves 8 Preparation time 15 minutes
Baking time 1 hour and 15 minutes
8 russet potatoes, medium
sized (buy one for every person)

2 Tbs. light tub margarine spread

½ cup skim milk

¾ teaspoon salt
Scrub and rinse potatoes. Pierce each several times with a fork and bake in a 400º F oven for 1 hour. (Use no foil. Don’t even bother with a dish!)

Take the potatoes out of the oven when they are soft. Use pot holders to protect your hands.

Cut the potatoes down the middle. Scoop out the insides into a bowl. Mash with a large fork or a potato masher. Add the margarine and salt. Mash some more. Stir in milk. Serve warm.
