I love mashed potatoes. Everyone loves mashed potatoes. I felt like making some today, to pair up with the butternut squash soup my sister made yesterday. mmm, leftovers.

Here's what you need:

3 chives, garlic, onions, whichever you like best.
Salt
3/4 cup heavy cream OR milk

a food mill/ potato ricer
A pot
a sauce pan
a paring knife
a wooden spoon
a cauldron

Peel the skins off of the potatoes. Then , rinse them in the cauldron to remove the starch. Now, cut them into quarters.

You forgot the most important part! (D=)
Potatoes aren't in the ingredients list, but I assume 3?

doesn't really matter...i usually put a couple...segments(?) and smash them in a garlic press.
