Mashed Potatoes

I don't like instant mashed potatoes at all. I make mine from scratch like many cooks out there.
I like them either with butter and sour cream or butter and milk in them both are delicious. But, if you don't have milk or sour cream on hand you can substitute 1/4 cup real mayo, still taste great.
