Mashed Potatoes

• 1 large russet potato
• 1/4 C milk
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp cream cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Peel potato and chop into 1/2 inch pieces (see notes below). Place in large saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until potatoes can be broken up with a fork.
2. Drain, return to saucepan, and shake over low heat for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Mash in remaining ingredients, leaving some potato chunks if desired.

Robyn's notes: he likes potato skin in his mashed potatoes, I can't have the skins, so I sometimes make two versions, peeling half the potato for mine and leaving the other half unpeeled for his. I make this regularly, and make it sized up a lot for large family get-togethers during the holidays (using 10-12 potatoes).

**** 4 Stars: Very Good. Enjoyed by us both, I will make this frequently
