How To Make pot luck mashed potatoes (make ahead)

Step 1Boil potatoes in stock pot on top of the stove until tender; drain and return to stockpot.

Step 2Mash next nine ingredients right into the potatoes in the stockpot. (I sometimes add a little extra milk, cream or sour cream to make extra creamy.)
