Home-Style Mashed Potatoes

SUBMITTED BY: Christine Wilson

"Leaving the tender skins on the spuds not only saves time, it sparks the taste and adds color to these hearty mashed potatoes. They're perfect with the pork roast and versatile enough to go well with other entrees. --Christine Wilson Sellersville, Pennsylvania"

This is my favorite way to eat mashed potatoes, with the skin on! much healthier this way, adds texture, and my family also prefers them this way! I'm so glad, because I hate peeling!

Great recipe. I never made mashed potatoes with the whole peel and i was pleasantly surprised it wasn't overloaded with the peels. No more peeling for me. Husband loved it too. The only thing i did a tad different, is i reserved some of the water after the potatoes were cooked. Then when the recipe calls for milk, i added some of the water with the milk. Salt to taste. Its a keeper.
