Step 1

Bring water to a boil in a large pot.

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes and add them to the pot. Boil them until tender.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes in a colander.

Step 4

If you are my husband (who is our mashed potato chef), you return the potatoes to the pot and mash them with a potato masher. If you are me or anyone from my side of the family, you mash the potatoes with a potato ricer or Foley food mill and then return them to the pot. Chef's choice!

Step 5

Add the salt, buttery spread, and milk beverage to the potatoes and continue to mix until the ingredients are blended.

Step 6

Check for salt and add more milk if they aren't moist enough. Serve with all of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes and lots of gravy.
