Basic Mashed Potatoes image

This is one of the best loved and a basic dish in most families. We just can't seem to get enough mashed or some say "creamed" potatoes. You may serve with additional butter melted on top, cheese, brown or cream gravy. There's nothing fancy about this recipe just plain good.

I've tried many mashed potato recipes, but this one is by far the best. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the gravy was rich and flavorful.
