A lovely friend once gave to me,
A most delightful recipe.
Each time I use it I feel I spend,
A precious moment with that friend.

I, too, have a favorite recipe,
Often enjoyed by my family.
May I share my recipe with you,.
Not an original, but tried and true

And with this offering I send,
The warmest greeting from a friend.

Mindy’s Mashed Potatoes

8-10 medium red Potatoes, cubed (do not skin)
½ C. Evaporated Milk
½ C. Chicken Broth
1 clove minced Garlic
2 Tbsp. Parsley
Salt & Pepper to taste

Boil potatoes until tender, 15-20 minutes, and drain. Add remaining ingredients and mash or whip with rotary beater. For creamier potatoes, add more evaporated milk and continue mixing until desired consistency is reached.


This is one I have to claim as my very own. Over the years since I became a grown up, I have tried every variety it seems, and have pulled what I liked from certain other recipes and created my very own. I love.love.love mashed potatoes, and generally I am put in charge of them at family get-togethers, so I think others might like them too.
