Hi, Dani! I can’t really say. A lot of it depends on the size of the potatoes, how many I’m cooking for, do I want left overs & what I plan to do with the left overs.
For two with leftovers, I might cook 4/5 medium potatoes & use only 1/2 stick of butter. Some times I will use the leftover potatoes to make potato salad to go with a different meal later in the week. To do that, I just add a bit of mustard, sweet relish & chopped egg & now I have a different side & it took very little effort. I hope I answered your question. When cooking, I hardly measure anything. ________________________________ From: Dani Pagador via Cookinginthedark <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org> Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2019 10:04 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Dani Pagador Subject: Re: [CnD] perfect mash. Hi, Courtney. How many potatoes do you use? The mayo sounds like a good alternative, and I'll remember that for when I'm out of milk. Thanks, Dani On 10/16/19, Courtney F.
