Anyway I keep telling her that a sack of pototes is taking up too much space and adds to much weight to the RV. She'll have to throw out some of her stuff!

I actually like butter better myself. (thought I'd be "cholesterol-correct" here)
Want something even better, add noodles to the top of potatoes. Just boil any noodle in a beef broth, drain, put on top of the mashed potatoes on your plate instead of gravy. That's really German Baptist (Dunkard and Amish!) that goes back several generations in our family history.

Boil the potatoes with the skin on; peel them mash with hand masher.
A little butter and hot milk make the dish creamy.
And the wasabi paste adds the best flavor.
Also try boiling in chicken stock.

Mashed Potatoes: very simple: 2 potatoes per person if potatoes are an "average" size, like the kind that comes in 10 or 15 pound bags, not the gigantic individual potatoes that are sold separate.
Peel potatoes, cut into quarters. Potatoes in water then turn the heat on. Bring water to boil. Boil potatoes until potatoes are soft all the way through, but not mushy. Drain off water. Put potatoes in large mixing bowl, or back in original cooking pot. Add margarine and mash up, then use an electric mixer. Add a little bit of milk (a little at a time) until you get the texture you want. Add salt to taste.
Very simple.
Some people add the water back to the potatoes instead of milk. Yuck! this makes a horrible tasting, weak tasting mashed potatoe! So they add sour cream and stuff to make it taste better. Even more yuck!
Follow the German Baptist, Dunkard, and Amish recipe: Potato, Milk, Butter (margarine), salt. That's it! You'll have really delicious mashed potatoes.
Left over: keep them. Take small hand fulls of mashed potatoes, roll into a ball, then flatten. Bread in flour, fry in a frying pan with about 1/8 inch of oil in the bottom of the pan! Fry until golden brown. Yummy potato cakes!

If you do accidently get them a bit runny just add a bit of those instant potatoes and you can get them stiffened up.

You could also add a little cement. That'll stiffen 'em up even more! Real "stick to your ribs" smashed taters!!!!
Yukon Golds are the best for mashed but dang potatos are getting as bad as gas now days --use cheater potatos(the ones in a tub heat and eat) for just the Mrs and I --real ones for company
