From the very first time I made this recipe my whole family was in love with it. I even got distracted one time with the kids and forgot to drain the water from the potatoes (luckily there wasn't very much), threw everything in, started mashing, and they still turned out fantastic. So simple, yet super delicious. This is now the only recipe I use.
