Mashed potatoes as a single doesn’t come easy, even 1 potato is way too much once you add the butter and milk. Here we take 1/2 a potato and a 1/2 can of cream of potato soup to make a bowl of mashed potato that can easily be a meal by itself if you add protein you enjoy and/or veggies. I personally love taking some BBQ pulled pork and some corn and adding it to this for a great meal, especially on cold winter nights.
For what to do with the other 1/2 potato check out this Baked Potato and for the other 1/2 can of cream of potato soup check out this Sherry Clam Chowder
Mashed Potato
Instead of milk for your mashed potato, here we use 1/2 can of cream of potato soup for extra flavor
