Something Like Mashed Potatoes

Directions

1. 1
   Cut and skin all but one potato into cubes or chunks and boil.
2. 2
   Prepare lone potato the same way but leaving skin on, cubing and boiling separately, alternatively, this could also be a baked potato.
3. 3
   Drain potatoes and mash either by hand or by mixer.
4. 4
   Add butter and milk until smooth and creamy.
5. 5
   I do not add exact measures, as this tends to be a personal decision, but about a tablespoon of each is a good start.
6. 6
   Cook onion separately if you are using, I would personally saute it.
7. 7
   Mix in bacon bits, garlic powder, onions and salt if you are using them.
8. 8
   Add the lone potato to the mix last.
9. 9
   If it was a baked potato, cut it into cubes.
10. 10
    If you chose to boil it separately, just drain it, it should already be in cubes.
11. 11
    I would suggest a gentle mix for this lone potato in with the rest, either a really short and low mixer setting, or even just using a fork.
12. 12
    If all goes well you should have a smooth mashed potato with small skinned potato chunks.

    Yummy!
