Mashed potatoes!

Potatoes according to my hubby is God's Gift to mankind.  After chickens that is.  Mashed potatoes is a comfort food which is easy to make but we all have tasted some form of it or other that just sticks with us forever and neither our palate nor mind ever forgets it.  I have been fortunate to try one such batch at the Texas Steak house which I have been trying to imitate for years.  Finally I think I have found some tricks and tips to get the best mashed potatoes ever.

Ingredients:

2 large potatoes
3 tbsp butter or margarine
1 tsp chinese salt or aginomoto
1/4th-1/2 cup chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
oregano or basil or mixed herbs for seasoning

Method:

Cut the potatoes into 4 pieces and boil in water with a tablespoon of sea salt or regular salt.  Remove the potatoes from heat when softened and wash with cold water cos they will keep cooking so long as they are hot.  Mash the potatoes using a masher or even a fork.  Add salt, pepper, aginomoto, butter and chicken broth and mix well.  Add more broth till the mixture has a softer consistency.  You can also add 1 tbsp of yoghurt if you prefer a more tangy flavour.  Sprinkle with oregano or mixed herbs and serve hot.  Reheat in microwave before serving if delayed.
